IPHost Monitor Features: Web Transaction Monitor

Web Transaction Monitor allows end-to-end monitoring of web applications and e-commerce sites such as internet shops, by simulating the steps of real user activity so the tool lets you constantly monitor real user experience to be sure your online shop or enterprise web application performs well. The tool notifies you if performance becomes unacceptable.

The Web Transaction monitor provides businesses with a tool to monitor web application availability and performance. The Web transaction monitor lets them ensure that web applications and services are functioning properly and deliver acceptable performance from the end-user perspective. By simulating real-user experience, this web application monitoring tool provides realistic results reflecting what end-users are experiencing when performing any type of e-commerce transaction on a website.

Typical web transactions are customer logins, navigation through a product catalog, products search, order fulfillment, submitting different types of web forms, and other user interactions with a website or web application. The Web Transaction monitor add-on for IPHost Network Monitor supports monitoring of the functionality listed above. It can check pages with a dynamically generated content (product catalog); page request parameters can also be dynamic (generated by a server session or specified by the user), it supports form submission, logging into a web application or e-commerce site, admin panel actions, and so on.

You can check whether a specified text string appears or does not appear on some page each time when this monitor runs. For instance, you can check for the string 'Welcome, John Smith' to be sure that the login was correct. You can set performance thresholds to be notified if web application performance from the end user perspective becomes unacceptable. These early warning notifications help you to prevent more serious problems that can lead to system outages and big losses.

You need not be an expert in monitoring and web applications to create a meaningful web transaction monitor. The Web transaction recorder (which looks and acts like a web browser) lets you create a monitor by simply navigating through the web pages which use the functionality you'd like to monitor. The Replay function provides you with the ability to visually check that web transaction recording goes flawlessly and the resulting monitor will work correctly. This function is extremely helpful when you have been notified about performance or availability problems with your application; replaying the same request sequence in the recorder helps you to understand which steps are OK and which are not as well as to validate the fixes you might have made to restore the operability of your application.
