Diagnostics
HP Diagnostics is a composite application-monitoring, triage, and diagnostics solution that provides integrated monitored topology, metrics, and events for BSM. It uses collectors and agents to collect data across multiple technology platforms, including JAVA, .NET, Oracle and SQL Server databases, SAP environments, SOA services, and virtualized environments. This data, which is displayed in the Diagnostics application in BSM, enables you to monitor and diagnose performance problems in your application infrastructure, and identify critical bottlenecks.
The functionality provided by the Diagnostics integration with BSM includes:
- Send metrics data to BSM; the data is used to determine status for system and software KPIs and fine-grained HIs, and enables you to track the availability and performance status of business applications monitored by Diagnostics, and reduce the MTTR of problems. Diagnostics also provides event data based on CI thresholds set in Diagnostics.
- Aggregate transaction monitoring, with Diagnostics providing backend-view data for business transactions generated by other BSM applications, such as BPM. You can generate high level reports in BSM about the performance of business transactions that are monitored by Diagnostics.
- Drill down to Diagnostics data from specific BSM configuration items and reports.
- View the application infrastructure information from Diagnostics in the context of a business application or business transaction.
- Configure business transactions for monitoring in Transaction Management by selecting top level server requests from Diagnostics. You can also view business transaction data from Diagnostics, including topologies, in the Transaction Management application.
- View Diagnostics information for monitored Web services and operations included in Application Management for SOA reports.
