Response Time & QoS Monitoring

Solution Overview

APG is a performance and service level management solution that allows effective management of the performance of the overall business. APG uses active transactions (IP-SLA, URL tests, and more) to monitor different target types for critical health and performance characteristics, enabling proactive alerts before end users experience problems with customizable thresholds.

Key Features

Network delay and jitter Monitoring with Cisco IP-SLA

The Cisco IP-SLA is a Cisco IOS feature that monitors network performance by measuring response time, network resource availability, application performance, jitter (interpacket delay variance), connect time, throughput, and packet loss. In particular, IP-SLA is a reliable mechanism for accurately monitoring the metrics in service level agreements (SLAs). Watch4Net APG can configure, collect, and report IP SLA probes providing organizations a set of services such as path response time, path availability, path jitter measurements, application response time, baseline trends, scorecards, SLA reporting and alerts.

End-user experience measurement with transaction monitoring

Watch4Net enables IT Staff to monitor transactions remotely from a central installation. Watch4Net accomplishes periodic application transaction tests, supporting several target monitors: URL (content, sequence, forms), DNS resolution, DHCP resolution, LDAP, SQL queries, etc. The result of each transaction is analyzed, and the response time is decomposed to detect the cause of the performance slowdown (network, server, application). Reports show the actual measurement, the evolution over time, the trends and scorecards.
