We can view the current performance activity of a server using the IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager (ITCAM) in the admin console.

When monitoring is enabled, ITCAM monitors the performance activity of all servers on a node, which includes the associated appservers and the administrative agent for the node being monitored.

New feature: ITCAM is an optional application which enables administrators to monitor the current health of WAS.

To minimize performance impacts, monitor only those servers whose resources need to be optimized
