Monitoring IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for WebSphere Application Server

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.newfeat
