Monitoring Scenarios

Appvance Monitor is an agent-based service that observes CPU, network, and memory utilization. Appvance Monitor logs observed values to the repository for analysis in the results charts. The Monitoring tab identifies the location of Appvance Monitor services running on the Test Nodes and Hosts. A Host is a server running your application server or database server.

Use the Monitoring Tab to identify the location of Glassbox service agents. Glassbox observes memory leaks, thread deadlocks, slow database queries, and other aspects of performance for Java Enterprise Applications. Read the Glassbox chapter for details.

APC Monitor is a java based agent which can record multiple resources on different environments (Hardware, Database, Webapps, and Java) according to the configuration. It listens to the resource usage and once the test is done, it sends the information to AIQ to correlate resources with transactions. To achieve that the AIQ Console needs to be able to communicate with APC Monitor.

Appvance Monitor works as a small footprint service that doesn't require a restart after a test is complete. It can also connect to multiple AIQ Tests at the same time.
