Monitoring distributed applications

Monitoring of distributed applications is done using the J2EE Request Profiler.

You must explicitly enable the J2EE Request Profiler in order to attach to it and use it as the data collection agent for the application that you want to profile. Follow these tasks:

Prerequisites:

  1. Click the Refresh button on the toolbar of the Profiling Monitor view.
    Note: Multiple J2EE Request Profilers will appear in the Profiling Monitor view as the application runs.
  2. Select either an agent (an instance of the J2EE Request Profiler), process, host or monitor in the Profiling Monitor view.
  3. From its pop-up menu, select Open with. The available sequence diagrams that can be viewed are listed on the cascading menu.
    See the related task Displaying sequence diagrams using the J2EE Request Profiler for instructions on how to view partial and complete sequence diagrams.
  4. Select the type of diagram that you want to view. See the related tasks.

The Sequence Diagram view opens with the selected interaction diagrams displayed.

For information on the Profiling and Logging perspective, and performance and memory profiling, refer to the documentation for the Profiling tool.
