The performance of mission-critical production applications is impacted by many interconnected factors, including system resources, database and application architecture, the efficiency of application code, and network infrastructure. As a result of the interdependencies in multi-tier production applications, symptoms of performance problems usually appear at one or more tiers. Typical approaches of isolating the root cause involve time-consuming, manual analysis of metrics reported by disparate tools often owned by different IT teams. When problems occur, finding out where the fault lies can be a complex, lengthy, and costly process.

OPNET Panorama™ for Production provides real-time performance analysis of complex Java/.NET applications by monitoring system and application metrics within each server, across all tiers. Panorama automatically spots performance anomalies with advanced deviation tracking and correlation technologies, pinpointing symptoms that might otherwise go undetected.

Easily compare values for sets of related metrics. Panorama automatically generates views based on the "top offenders."

Visualize key aspects of application performance in live or historical mode.

Key Features

• Thousands of application and system metrics are automatically correlated across multiple tiers to pinpoint a handful of possible root causes
• Advanced deviation tracking and correlation technologies automatically spot abnormal vs. normal behavior and identify unsuspected sources of performance problems
• Proactive notification alerts IT staff or troubleticketing systems when performance thresholds are breached
• Dynamic thresholds automatically adjust limits based on historical performance, reducing false alarms
• Summary dashboards visualize key aspects of live application performance, as well as providing a historical view
• Drill-down capabilities identify specific resources, such as Java classes or database components, that are responsible for performance problems
