IBM DB2 Monitoring
IBM DB2 collects information from the database manager, its databases, and any connected applications. The snapshot monitor captures the state of database activity at a particular point in time.IBM WebSphere Performance Monitoring Infrastructure
IBM WebSphere Application Server collects performance data and provides interfaces so that external applications can monitor that performance data. To help identify performance problems and help tune an environment that runs web applications, data is collected through the Performance Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI). The Performance Monitoring Infrastructure is the underlying framework in WebSphere Application Server that gathers performance data from various runtime resources, such as Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM) and Thread Pools, and application components, such as servlets and Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) components.Java Management Extensions
Java Management Extensions (JMX) can monitor performance characteristics of application servers and applications that are run on application servers. The following application servers support JMX monitoring:- Apache HTTP Server
- Apache Tomcat
- JBoss Application Server
- Oracle WebLogic Server
- SAP NetWeaver
Java Virtual Machines also support JMX monitoring.
