Project Overview Develop a web-based performance

monitoring/gathering tool Current tools for monitoring

OS level : Task Manager (taskman) and Performance Monitor (perfmon) built-in Windows utilities

Commercial applications for monitoring Require physical presence at application site

Casptone Group #2 - Fall 2005 5

Project Requirements …(1/2) Performance Monitoring

Process information Memory information Processor utilization Network utilization SQL Server database metrics Other metrics

Casptone Group #2 - Fall 2005 6

Project Requirements … (2/2)

Performance Analyzer Simple performance analyzer that will

display aggregates of required metrics after processing data gathered.

Graphical User Interface Setup page to select required

performance terms to profile Display page to show all gathered

metrics and aggregates

System Design …(1/7)

TieMon DLL Overview .NET Framework (C#)

Uses System.Diagnostics namespace to get performance data

Multi-threaded DLL implementation Uses XML for information exchange with

Java

Casptone Group #2 - Fall 2005 10

System Design …(2/7)

TieMon DLL Overview … Jawin – Java/Win32 or .NET

Interoperability Simplifies Java calls to Windows DLLs Uses Windows Dynamic Link Library to

create Java source code

Casptone Group #2 - Fall 2005 11

System Design …(3/7) TieMon DLL Design

Uses a Singleton design pattern Will provide a list of available performance

counters in the system for the WebApp, to the user

WebApp will provide XML data of counters to monitor from a file provided by the user, as well as time to run and measurement intervals

Parses XML data and checks for errors. Supports aliases for usability.

Provides a ‘Cancel’ method to stop monitoring Writes raw performance monitor data into the

local file system

Casptone Group #2 - Fall 2005 12

System Design …(4/7)

TieMon Web Application Overview Java Struts and JBoss Web Application

Server Uses the TieMon DLL to access system

performance counters No Multi-user support

Casptone Group #2 - Fall 2005 13

System Design …(5/7) TieMon WebApp interface design

Allows users to download available performance counters

Allows users to upload selected performance counters

Both files in XML format

Casptone Group #2 - Fall 2005 14

System Design …(6/7) TieMon WebApp interface design

Allows users to configure the duration and frequency of the monitoring process.

Progress Report Research

Task Manager info available from .NET Size limit of strings that can be passed from Java

to .NET using Jawin Alternative to sleep system call which causes

context switching Coding

PC for testing/deployment is ready. Most needed S/W installed. Needs JBoss WebApp server.

Requirements have been solidified (though still being updated)

TieMon DLL and WebApp development has started
