0.21: What is the Resource Analyzer? (brief description)

The Resource Analyzer is a performance monitor for WebSphere Application Server Advanced Edition. The Analyzer retrieves performance data by periodically polling the administrative server. Data is collected continuously and retrieved as needed from within the Analyzer. An administrator can set instrumentation levels to control the effect that data collection has on application servers.

The Resource Analyzer provides a range of performance data for two kinds of resources: WebSphere resources, such as enterprise beans and servlets, and runtime resources, such as Java Virtual Machine (JVM) memory application server thread pools and database connection pools.
