Method and System for Reducing the Number of Monitoring Probes Required For End To End Performance Measurements (18-Jan-2010)
A method and system for reducing the number of monitoring probes required for end to end performance measurements is disclosed. The number of monitoring probes required is reduced by sharing a group of monitoring probes to perform the monitoring and measurement functions.
Method and System for Reducing the Number of Monitoring Probes Required For End To End Performance Measurements
Disclosed is a method and system for reducing the number of monitoring probes required for end to end performance measurements.
Monitoring probes or monitoring agents are used for monitoring end to end performance of servers, desktops, and networks. To monitor and measure a business process or a transaction end to end requires many monitoring probes or agents to be deployed. This becomes an expense justifiable only for "high priority" critical business applications.
The method and system disclosed herein monitors multiple business processes or transactions by packaging monitoring probes and re-distributing them to the servers or desktops required for the next business application. Re-distributing the monitoring probes involves performing an intelligent routing of monitoring probes to specific technical components supporting a business process. The re-distribution is done on a specified cycle time for each business process or transaction.
The monitoring probes are moved around all the end to end components to collect performance measurements corresponding to the end to end components. If the overall end to end threshold is missed, a larger number of the monitoring probes are deployed to pin point which specific technical component is not within the threshold and hence causing a performance failure.
The method and...
