You can view the current performance activity of a server
using the IBM® Tivoli® Composite Application
Manager for WebSphere® Application Server in the WebSphere Application Server administrative
console.
Before you begin
When monitoring is enabled, IBM Tivoli Composite
Application Manager for WebSphere Application Server
monitors the performance activity of all servers on a node, which
includes the associated application servers and the administrative
agent for the node being monitored.
About this task
New feature: IBM Tivoli Composite
Application Manager for WebSphere Application Server
is an
optional application which enables administrators and
programmers to monitor the current health of WebSphere Application
Server. Because the collection and viewing of data occurs in the application
server, performance might be affected. To minimize performance impacts,
monitor only those servers whose resources need to be optimized.
