Applications
An application is a software product that you use for a specific purpose or to
perform a set of related tasks. For example, you might use an e-mail
application to send and receive electronic mail, or a Web application to search
a database. You can use Application Response to monitor average response
time for an application, or to monitor the response times for specific
transactions performed using an application.
Application Response provides default application definitions that monitor
specific applications (such as Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes) and measure
average response time. In general, the default applications are useful for
demonstrating the capabilities of Application Response. When you are ready to
monitor your applications, you may want to define new applications. However,
you can continue to use the default applications and servers to monitor
application response time if they suit your needs.
To monitor an application for which no default definition is available, you must
define the application to Application Response using the eHealth Web
interface. For default or custom application definitions, you can use BT Studio
to define the specific transactions that you want to monitor, or to refine the
rules that determine what Application Response measures.
Default Applications and Servers
Application Response provides default application definitions that monitor
specific applications (such as Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes) and measure
average response time. To monitor an application for which no default
definition is available, you must define the application to Application Response
using the eHealth Web interface. For default or custom application definitions,
you can use BT Studio to define the specific transactions that you want to
monitor, or to refine the rules that determine what Application Response
measures.
When you enable a default application definition in eHealth, Application
Response monitors the default application executable using a default server
definition to collect response time data. In reports, Application Response
displays a response path similar to the following:
