Are there any 3rd party performance monitoring and/or metrics
applications available for PE?

Thanks,

    Perl scripts that scrape PE log files? 🙂

    HI Brian--

    You can use Apache JMeter to monitor performance for PE. It's been a while since I did it, so the details are fuzzy, but I don't remember it being too difficult to hook it up. It's worth looking into.

    Thanks for the replies on this. I took a look at Apache JMeter, but it
    appeared to me to be used to test performance, with the emphasis on
    test. I'm looking more for something that might help me see performance
    of PE during actual usage, so when users are asking why PE isn't
    responding as fast as they'd like, I can refer to some data that shows
    how many requests came in around that time, size of the files, how long
    the requests were taking, etc.
    I'm aware of the transaction list and usage report web tools, and have
    actually customized the transaction list to show transaction duration
    and file size, but the more I add to or customize it, the more I wonder
    if there's not already something out there that does what I want? Maybe
    I didn't catch all that's possible with JMeter to monitor performance?

    In the absence of something like that, has anyone customized request
    handlers on PE to store info like how many of the sub-processes are in
    use when a transaction occurs, or any other customizing that helps with
    performance monitoring?

    Thanks,

    Someone ... I can see his face ... can't pull the name right now ...
    developed a screen scraping tool that analyzed and maybe logged over time
    an existing PE status page. Colin? I don't know if you've looked at that
    page and the process reporting that it does or not, but if that info "in
    real time" might help you, you could look down that path.

    I never saw it, I just remember him talking about it.
