Application Monitoring

Application Monitoring is an EntireX feature that enables you to monitor the response times in your distributed applications, and it also enables you to monitor certain error situations. See Application Monitoring. To configure it, from the administration menu of the EntireX Adapter choose Application Monitoring.

You can either use the internal Data Collector of the Adapter (parameter Use internal Application Monitoring Data Collector is enabled), or an external Data Collector running outside of the Integration Server (parameter Use internal... is disabled).
