Question by Matthias D. · Apr 22, 2015 at 08:35 AM · web performance monitoring

Webserver agent features

Hi all

I Need some Information about the webserver Agent Features.

The configuration is a webclient with JavaScript, a Java-swing application or an Applet on a Windows machine. The Client calls a webservice on a CMS or a Java-Appserver. Between the Client and the CMS/Appserver is a Apache Webserver. I can put a dynatrace Java Agent on the CMS/Appserver and use UEM to analyze the calls from the Client to the Server. What additional Features and informations do I get, when I use a webserver Agent on the Apache in Addition to the Java Agent on the Server? Can I see e.g Problems of calls in the Apache itself? I'm mainly interested in informations, which go beyond the things I see anyway in the Apache logfiles.

 

Thank you for some explanations about the webserver agents.

Matthias

Hi Matthias

The benefit is that you get visiblity into an additional layer of your deliver chain. The Server-Side PurePaths will now start at Apache. You will see how much time the overal request takes. You will see when the request is actually forwarded from Apache to your Java App Server. You also get out-of-the-box Apache System Monitoring such as Number of Threads (Busy vs. Idle), Transfered Data, Throughput, handlred requests, ... -> these are all metrics you would probably also get from the log files - but - this is now fully embedded into your dynatrace data.

Check out my blog I recently wrote on load testing. There I highlight the additoinal metrics you can analyze when having visibility into your web server: http://apmblog.dynatrace.com/2015/01/22/key-performance-metrics-load-tests-beyond-response-time-part/

Hope this helps
