Introduction to Panorama (2 days)
Prerequisites:
Basic understanding of performance testing. Knowledge of Java and Java EE would be helpful, but not necessary.
Course Description:
Through labs and lecture,
you will learn how to gain valuable insight into historical and real-time performance patterns of business-critical applications. This enables you to monitor thousands of application and system metrics proactively across multiple tiers to identify sources of performance problems or potential choke points, improving application response time and preventing application outages.
Agenda:
- Panorama use cases and methodology
- Correlation and analysis techniques
- Dynamic thresholds and automatic baselines
- Application internals that behave badly
- "Hot spots" and system bottlenecks
- Subtle cause-and-effect behaviors
- Key measurements to monitor in production
- Characterize normal performance and the effects of load
- Use stored performance history to examine trends
- Troubleshoot problems in conjunction with IT Guru and ACE
