WAS v8.5 > Monitoring > Monitoring overall system health > Monitoring performance with Tivoli Performance ViewerTivoli Performance Viewer topologies and performance impacts
The Tivoli Performance Viewer enables administrators and programmers to monitor the overall health of WebSphere Application Server from within the dmgr console.
The following two topologies exist for the Tivoli Performance Viewer:
- Tivoli Performance Viewer running in a single server environment
- Tivoli Performance Viewer running in a WAS, Network Deployment environment
When the Tivoli Performance Viewer is running in a single server environment, the collection and viewing of the data occurs in the same Java virtual machine. Because the collection and viewing of data occurs in the application server, performance may be affected depending on Tivoli Performance Viewer settings. View Data with the Tivoli Performance Viewer describes the various Tivoli Performance Viewer settings and their effect on performance.
