ASG-TMON for Web-Based Applications is an integrated solution that monitors and manages Web-based applications infrastructures. ASG-TMON for Web-Based Applications provides the ability to monitor and proactively manage Web application servers (WebSphere Application Server and BEA WebLogic) and J2EE components (EJBs, servlets, JSP, JDBC, classes, and methods). It also provides insight into what impact specific technologies, such as Apache Web Server, Microsoft IIS, Sun One Web Server, Oracle DB, MySQL, MS SQL Server, and DB2 UDB, may have on J2EE applications. Utilizing client/server technology, ASG-TMON for Web-Based Applications is comprised of the ASG-TMON for Web-Based Applications Fenway feature and the ASG-TMON for Web-Based Applications PathFinder feature. These features work in tandem to ensure the performance, availability, scalability, and transaction integrity of a Web-based applications infrastructure built around an application server. The self-monitoring solution provides policy-based management, an SNMP interface (which integrates seamlessly with network management products such as ASG-Sentry Network Manager), a Web-based user interface, real-time monitoring and alerting, and automated corrective actions. The ASG-TMON for Web-Based Applications Fenway feature provides the foundation for the integrated solution. It includes such components as Agents, a Management Server, a Report Manager, Specific Applications Managers (SAMs), and a Performance Center. The ASG-TMON for Web-Based Applications PathFinder feature auto-discovers all of the potential paths within the Web-based application infrastructure and maps out the dependant resources to isolate the exact problem causing Web-based application transaction failures or degradation.
