Data collection infrastructure overview
The data collection infrastructure
collects performance profiling data for distributed applications and
sends the data to the workbench computer, where you can view and analyze
the collected data. The data collection infrastructure must be installed,
configured, and running on all remote computers that will be used
in your distributed application. The data collection infrastructure
is installed when you install Rational® Performance Tester Agent.
You can monitor a live application in a development or testing environment and collect data from the application in real time. Data collection is supported on the following web servers:
- IBM® WebSphere® Application Server, Version 6.1, 7.0, 8.0, or 8.5 running on Microsoft Windows, AIX®, and Linux
- Oracle WebLogic Application Server, Version 9 or 10 running on Microsoft Windows and Linux
You can also query IBM Tivoli® Monitoring for Transaction Performance, IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Response Time Tracking, IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for WebSphere or IBM Tivoli Composite Appliciuiu.uation Manager for Application Diagnostics management server databases to collect past performance data for an application that is deployed in a production environment. Data collection is supported on the following software versions:
- IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Transaction Performance, Version 5.3 fix pack 1 (5.3.0.1)
- IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Response Time Tracking, Versions 6.0 and 6.1
- IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for WebSphere, Versions 6.0 and 6.1
