LivePerf description
A customizable performance monitoring tool for distributed systems.

LivePerf is a powerful tool for monitoring distributed applications across a variety of architectures and operating systems.

LivePerf will allow you to monitor the network and the database.

Use LivePerf to monitor the performance of your database, your application server, your operating system or your network connections. View all performance data in the same graphical console and choose to group and plot the information relevant to you.

Here are some key features of "LivePerf":

· Integrated view over even the most heterogeneous networks
Maintain a consistent view across vendors, operating systems and application versions. Regardless of its source, all data is always available in the same graphical console, ready to be plotted in standard or custom charts.
· Extend LivePerf with your own data collectors
Allows gathering and presenting custom data, extracted from SQL queries, Java applications and even command line tools. A very powerful feature which allows you to watch business (application specific) metrics along with overall system performance.
· Create you own custom views
Raw counters not enough? Add, subtract, average or write a Java function to transform data before displaying it on the screen. Create statistics over time, or display live data in your own charts.
· Log now and analyse later
Log and replay capability allows recording of monitoring sessions and replying them at a later time. During replay it is possible to compute different statistics and choose different visualisation options.
· Agents
Built-in monitoring capabilities for Websphere, SQL Server, DB2, Oracle, Unix and Windows systems, Apache and IIS web servers, .NET and J2EE applications and more.
· Usage flexibility
A non-machine bound license allows installing the Console on more machines, allowing for network configuration changes.
· Price
By far the least expensive tool of its calibre on the market
