Application Performance Management (APM) for TIBCO Users
TIBCO users may wish to extend their IT monitoring and management beyond their TIBCO infrastructure. Many of SL's customers are tasked with managing dozens of applications across their organizations. Some applications may already have their own monitoring tools; others may be supported by internally developed solutions such as scripts or log files.
The RTView for APM framework enables users to consolidate metrics from existing monitoring solutions and tools, providing visibility across an entire application infrastructure including TIBCO applications and other critical application components.
Leveraging the broader RTView for APM platform, TIBCO users are able to:
- Gather, correlate and present performance data from a wide array of critical applications and components
- Quickly deliver tailored dashboards, reliable alerts, power troubleshooting, and historical analysis of system behavior
- Easily build custom monitoring applications, or extend RTView's pre-built packages, with the powerful RTView for APM framework
- Quickly deploy a comprehensive, integrated solution that reduces TCO, and makes the overall goal – end-to-end application monitoring and control – attainable
