Application Monitoring

NimBUS for .NET Infrastructure Management

Nimsoft proactively measures the performance and availability of .NET application environments. Designed for application support, systems administrators and developers, Nimsoft provides patented auto-discovery engines to model and measure complex application environments, saving developers weeks of work uncovering dependency maps and configuring data collection.

Nimsoft also includes robust templates with best practices tests and measurements for the .NET platform. They include tests for common language runtime (CLR), ASP.NET memory, ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), SQL data access, ASP requests and processes and ASP application tests (e.g. caching, requests.) These are typically coupled with other Windows platform measurements.

See figure below:

Nimsoft also puts .NET metrics in context with the overall infrastructure of your IT environment including:

• Network metrics related to network bandwidth usage.
• System metrics related to processor, memory, disk I/O, and network I/O.
• Platform metrics related to ASP.NET, and the .NET common language runtime (CLR)
• Application metrics include custom performance counters.
• Service level metrics related to .NET applications, such as orders per second and searches per second.

Proactive tests, coupled with Nimsoft's passive data collection, isolate performance issues before customers can notice. If a problem occurs, performance degradation can be quickly linked to the underlying problem and resolved.

Since performance data is stored within an embedded database, operations can provide meaningful information to QA and development about performance by load and actual usage patterns.
