Framework for application monitoring and management

摘要

A system is provided for monitoring one or more applications. The system includes a data store to maintain data, such as logs stored in a log file, describing transactions involving at least one of the applications. Some of the data includes context specific information which may be of varying length or content. The system includes agents, adapters, a controller, and a console. The agents communicate the data to the data store according to a configured delivery method. The adapters receive the data from the applications and forward the data to one of the agents. The controller manages the agents and is operable to analyze the data. The console is coupled to the controller to receive command inputs from a user to provide the analysis of the data to the user.
