subject: Continuously Monitor And Test Web Site Applications [print this page] For any business website ,the main objective is to continuously monitor and test web site applications and to detect errors. Even when a new application is deployed or any new changes are made to an existing one, the web application monitoring and testing is very essential for better performance of the application and to meet its expectations on the web.
One essential factor to go ahead with this would be to deploy a private agent into your corporate data centre. Any error rates and the times it had downloaded will be recorded and quickly detected. Once detected, the problem needs to be diagnosed and resolved before a wide scale deployment is done for the same.
Proactively monitoring a large number of different Web applications in terms of storage, analysis, visualization and alerting is an essential part which can be directly influenced and benefited with the help of private agents.
You can determine which part of your infrastructure could be responsible for a performance issue by measuring web applications and transaction performance without the internet influencing it. When the public agent sends you the alert, the private agent can further diagnose the problem or the issue along with the transaction data and this needs to happen real time.
This would lead to a real time operational console for root cause drill down and analysis. Businesses need a faster and a quicker work around any downtime issue. What we need is a unified console for critical web application monitoring and measurement along with diagnosis of performance issues with the benefit of advanced reporting.
