For internal use only 3 | Problem Description Enterprise applications are built with various technologies like AppServers, DBs, In-Memory Grids etc. Performance of an application is dependent on each of these. So how do you find out how your app is doing? Web Browser Application Server DB Services JMS/HTTP/RES T/SOAP

For internal use only 8 | Strategies Gary created a plugin that runs standalone next to the TMS It queries the TMS REST interface and publishes metrics gleaned from there Gaurav created a plugin that runs standalone next the application It queries the ehcache-management agent’s REST interface directly Dhruv created a plugin that runs directly in the application Application must be recompiled but you won’t have to manage a separate, standalone agent Satish managed all of us and created this document

For internal use only 10 | Challenges Targeted at time-varying data Not good for status info, such as UnreadOperatorEvents Not good for any complicated system, such as a TSA/cluster —Can’t figure out how to show containment, such as the TSA topology —Since it persists all metrics, you need to gather everything at each poll period During Development, all metrics hang around even if they’re never used again. Expects nodes who’s addresses don’t change, unlike our L1 “RemoteAddress,” which changes each time the node reconnects to the TSA. This leaves old data about the “old” L1 hanging around When a plugin agent is incorrectly coded, the Runner doesn’t seem to log the agent-generated exception… the polling just doesn’t happen. It’s suppose to poll once-a-minute but it seems to be going along happily then it just stops polling! In summary: just like all one-size-fits-all solutions, it really doesn’t fit
