Overview

Resource monitoring data can be captured or imported from a number of sources.

IBM Tivoli Monitoring

IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITIM)...

• Monitors system and network applications on a variety of platforms
• Keeps track of the performance of all parts of enterprise network

Over one-hundred ITIM agents are available from IBM and third-party vendors.

Not all ITIM agents are supported. The following ITIM agents are supported for resource monitoring data collection:

• Operating system agents
  • Monitor Agent for Linux OS
  • Monitor Agent for UNIX OS
  • Monitor Agent for Windows OS
  • Monitor Agent for z/OS

• Application agents
  • Monitor Agent for Citrix
  • Monitor Agent for IBM DB2
  • Monitor Agent for IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for WebSphere
  • Monitor Agent for IBM WebSphere Application Server
  • Monitor Agent for IBM WebSphere MQ
  • Monitor Agent for Oracle Database
  • Monitor Agent for SNMP-MIB2 (only)

IBM DB2 Monitoring

IBM DB2 collects information from the database manager, its databases, and any connected applications. The snapshot monitor captures the state of database activity at a particular point in time.

IBM WebSphere Performance Monitoring Infrastructure

IBM WebSphere Application Server collects performance data and provides interfaces so that external applications can monitor that performance data.

To help identify performance problems and help tune an environment that runs Web applications, data is collected through the Performance Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI), which is the underlying framework in WAS that gathers performance data from various runtime resources, such as JVM and Thread Pools, and application components, such as servlets and EJB components.

JBoss Application Server monitoring

JBoss Application Server supports JMX, which can monitor performance characteristics of the appserver and the applications running on the appserver.

Oracle WebLogic Server monitoring

Oracle WebLogic Server supports JMX, which can monitor performance characteristics of the appserver and the applications running on the appserver.

SAP NetWeaver monitoring

SAP NetWeaver supports JMX, which can monitor performance characteristics of the appserver and the applications running on the appserver.

UNIX rstatd

With the rstatd daemon, users can collect performance statistics remotely from a networked UNIX (or Linux) computer. Rstatd collects statistics related to...

• network
• virtual memory
• interrupt
• disk
• processor usage

Windows Performance Monitor

Windows Performance Monitor (PerfMon) collects data from performance objects. The Windows operating system provides performance objects for the major hardware components:

• memory
• processors
• etc...

Each performance object provides specific performance counters.

For example, the Memory object provides a Pages/sec counter that tracks the rate of memory paging. Other programs on the computer can install their own performance objects.

For example, a mail server program might install a mail performance object. The specific counters depend on the version of the Windows operating system and on the additional programs installed on the computer.
