Introscope® Feature:
Environment Performance Agent (EPA™)
Today's web application environments are complex and diverse. Most employ a combination of commercial off-the-shelf and home-grown application subsystems. And even off-the-shelf software can be configured and used in unique ways. In other words, each enterprise IT environment has its own unique aspects. To effectively manage the "whole application," it's critical that the entire application environment be monitored for performance and availability.
The problem has been how to integrate data from diverse sources of data using one application performance tool.
The solution is the Environmental Performance Agent feature of Introscope® or EPA™. This Wily feature allows customers to quickly and easily adapt Introscope to monitor virtually any type of application subsystem. And customers can do this work with skills they already have. By developing simple programs or interpreted scripts in virtually any language familiar to them, customers can gather monitoring information from a wide variety of application components such as web servers, directory servers, operating systems, and databases, for display alongside the .NET metrics in the Introscope Workstation. EPA is provided with a library of sample Perl scripts to use as is, or extend for your specific needs. Other script environments such as C Shell, KornShell, Bornshell, can be substituted for Perl.
EPA is bundled with Introscope for Microsoft .NET. |
