Abstract:
A combined transaction execution monitoring, transaction classification and transaction execution performance anomaly detection system is disclosed. The system receives and analyzes transaction tracing data which may be provided by monitoring agents deployed to transaction executing entities like processes. In a first classification stage, parameters are extracted from received transaction tracing data, and the transaction tracing data is tagged with the extracted classification data. A subsequent measure extraction stage analyzes the classified transaction tracing data and creates corresponding measurements which are tagged with the transaction classifier. A following statistical analysis process maintains statistical data describing the long term statistical behavior of classified measures as a baseline, and also calculates corresponding statistical data describing the current statistical behavior of the classified measures. The statistical analysis process detects and notifies significant deviations between the statistical distribution of baseline and current measure data. A subsequent anomaly alerting and visualization stage processes those notifications.
Abstract:
The presented enhancement of a rule based instrumentation system taking object oriented inheritance relationships into account is directed to the detection and extraction to inheritance relationships relevant for the instrumentation process. Relevant inheritance relationships which have an impact on the instrumentation process and typically only represent a small fraction of the complete inheritance relationships of a monitored application. The small size of the relevant inheritance relationships allows, for example to prepare it in advance and ship it as part of a monitoring application or to transmit inheritance information between different local instrumentation engines being part of a distributed instrumentation system.
Abstract:
A transaction monitoring and tracing system which combines transactional performance monitoring aspects with infrastructure performance and utilization measures, like e.g. used memory or CPU load of transaction executing computing infrastructure. The system uses two types of agents deployed to the monitored system, a transaction and process agent, which is deployed to a process executing monitored transactions, and a host agent, which is deployed to a computer system executing processes monitored by a transaction and process agent. The transaction and process agent provides transaction tracing and process infrastructure measurements, the host agent provides host or operating system infrastructure measurements. All three types of measurements are tagged by the corresponding agent in a way that allows a later correlation of corresponding tracing and measurement data by an external monitoring node. Combining transactional and infrastructure monitoring allows fast detection of non-transactional root causes of monitored transaction performance degradations.
Abstract:
A performance management system is provided that measures end user performance in a distributed computing environment. The system detects DOM updates caused by browser side activities, and identifies resource load requests introduced by a DOM update that request resource from third party sources. For such resource load requests, resource sensors are installed which detect the point in time when loading the resource was finished. This allows to measure load time for individual resource load requests requesting third party resources, and to assign the tracing and performance monitoring data describing those resource load requests to the tracing and performance monitoring data describing the browser side transaction execution that caused the third party resource loads.

Abstract:
A performance monitoring and management system is provided for monitoring both server side and network side performance parameters of individual distributed transactions. The system uses correlation data which is transferred over a computer network to identify corresponding sender/receiver parts of a distributed transaction. Both server side tracing data and correlation data is transferred to an external correlation and monitoring server that creates per transaction end-to-end tracing data. Network probes are installed in the network infrastructures which monitor network conditions, like e.g. data transferred. Those network probes are configured in a way to identify and extract the correlation data used by the monitoring system and to tag created network measurements with this correlation data. Those tagged network measurements are then used to augment the per transaction end-to-end tracing data with corresponding network measurements.
