Monitoring the performance of Web services applications

You can monitor the performance of a Web service that is implemented in the WebSphere Application Server using Performance Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI) tooling.

About this task

You can use the Performance Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI) to measure the time required to process Web services requests. To monitor the performance of a Web services application, follow the steps in this task:

Procedure

  1. Enable PMI services in an application server through the administrative console. Select the Web module named webServicesModule in step 7.
  2. Monitor performance with Tivoli Performance Monitor In the left pane of the performance view, expand the host and server. Select Web Services. Run the Web services client application.

Results

PMI provides detailed statistics that can help you gain clear insight into the runtime behavior and performance of Web services. Performance counters enable you to see key performance data for each individual Web service including:

To read about other Web services PMI counters, see PMI data organization.

What to do next

If your Web services applications are using security, see the information about Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files in Tuning Web services security.

If you are having problems with your Web services applications, read about problems and solutions in Troubleshooting Web services.
