Application Monitoring

PeopleSoft

The most significant challenge facing PeopleSoft administrators today is the inability to monitor application performance, usage patterns, and service levels, and to alert the right people of problems pinpointed to their root cause before they impact the business community.

Nimsoft monitors end-to-end performance of Peoplesoft environments across the entire service delivery chain; end-user, network, J2EE application servers, Tuxedo servers, systems, Oracle databases and other data center components. Through patented modeling techniques, Nimsoft correlates end-user experience in each location to the underlying infrastructure health including the Peoplesoft System and Tools.

Nimsoft's Peoplesoft capabilities include out-of-the-box templates and auto-discovery engines for collecting data from the Peoplesoft's Performance Monitor and Diagnostics Framework. All passive data collection is done agentlessly including:

• Proactive management through exceptions, SLAs and baselines
• Definition and measurement of organizational business objectives and SLAs
• Monitoring of real users, real data and real PeopleSoft transactions complemented bysimulated or synthetic activity monitoring
• Isolating problem components within the network, Web server, application server or database tiers
• Identifying the root cause right down to the level in the J2EE tier
• Reporting Peoplesoft host status such as CPU usage, memory used, hard page faults, Tuxedo connections, Tuxedo requests
• Monitoring communications for data transfers including HTTP/XML, Jolt, LDAP and SQL
• Databases; Oracle DBMS status, table status, performance, back-ups, data consistency
• Peoplesoft scheduler; status such as total active processes, unused slots and blocked processes
• File systems of desired application servers and host systems
• Security audit log and security-relevant messages in the system log

By proactively testing Peoplesoft application performance relative to normal behavior by time of day and day of week, Nimsoft anticipates problems before they impact the business and your users.

Unlike alternative solutions, Nimsoft leverages a cohesive architecture that was designed from the start to correlate application performance to the multitude of underlying technologies. In order to speed implementation, Nimsoft includes application models definable by locale for common data center environments as well as drag and drop configuration capabilities for your unique requirements. With GUI driven discovery and application recording, Nimsoft begins delivering value in days rather than weeks.
