Not all application versions are supported. For more information, see the Precise Support Matrix at https://preciseidera.secure.force.com/precise/. |
About Alerts
Alerts is an alerting product that helps you proactively manage your system’s performance. With Alerts, you can effectively detect availability and performance issues and react quickly to solve them.
...
The Alerts agents are called InformPoints. They retrieve performance data collected by other Precise products, analyze it, and generate alerts if the predefined thresholds are exceeded. For more information, contact Precise Customer Support or your SE.
About Report Manager
...
The reports present historical information. They are designed to help you identify problematic conditions before they turn into performance issues; track long-term performance and trends; plan for future growth; compare performance of similar systems and time periods; correlate performance metrics of different products; and generate customized reports. For more information, contact Precise Customer Support or your SE.
About Insight
Insight is a monitoring product that measures the real end-user response time of a multi-tier application and, within an end-to-end view, breaks down the response time by the technology tiers, such as Web server, application server, database server or storage - so IT staff know where to prioritize their efforts. Insight also provides application-specific performance metrics for SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft, Siebel, Tuxedo, J2EE, and Citrix-based applications. For more information, contact Precise Customer Support or your SE.
About Precise for Web
...
The Web Server Collectors collect response time data on the Web server. They sample the Web filters and correlate this data with the network time spent for each URL. This way, you can see the total response time for the Web server and get a first-level breakdown of the entities that share the response time on the Web server. For more information, contact Precise Customer Support or your SE.
About Precise for J2EE
...
For more information, contact Precise Customer Support or your SE.
About Precise for Microsoft .NET
...
Precise for Microsoft .NET also archives performance data and provides a fully detailed display of this historic data for use in performance, QA, and capacity planning analysis. For more information, contact Precise Customer Support or your SE.
About Precise for Oracle
...
Based on your application (e.g. an ERP application), you can also install special Collectors (Interpoints), that gather information on the activities and resource consumption of that application. And if your Oracle database is stored on external storage arrays supported by Precise for Oracle, you can install Precise for Storage for a specific storage array. By doing so, you can gain a true end-to-end view, from application user experience over database view into storage. For more information, contact Precise Customer Support or your SE.
About Precise for SQL Server
...
For more information, contact Precise Customer Support or your SE.
About Precise for DB2
...
If your DB2 files are stored on external EMC storage units, you can install Precise for Storage to map the DB2 files to their underlying devices of the storage unit and get additional statistics from the storage array. For more information, contact Precise Customer Support or your SE.
About Precise for Sybase
...
Precise provides an initial tuning solution for the Sybase Replication Server integrated with Precise for Sybase. It can monitor Replication Server (RS) statistics information related directly to the ASE in the start/end point of the replication chain. Approximately 90% of all latency issues are caused by the ASEs themselves and not by the RS components. For more information, contact Precise Customer Support or your SE.
About Precise for SAP
...

About the Oracle Applications instance
...
The Interpoint for Oracle Applications correlates Oracle Applications entities with resource consumption data of Oracle entities that is gathered by Precise for Oracle. Since the Insight FocalPoint agent is installed automatically through the Framework Installer, you also get the Insight Savvy for Oracle Applications, which provides Forms Server response time data for Oracle Applications entities, such as: Oracle Applications users, Forms, and Screens. For more information, contact Precise Customer Support or your SE.
About the Siebel instance
The Siebel Collectors collect performance data on Siebel entities. They include Interpoints for Siebel which correlates Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle entities with resource consumption data of Siebel entities that is gathered by Precise for SQL Server or Precise for Oracle, respectively. For more information, contact Precise Customer Support or your SE.
About the Tuxedo instance
The Tuxedo Collectors provide performance metrics for Tuxedo. The Insight Savvy for Tuxedo gathers response time directly from the Tuxedo shared memory to provide response time distribution data for Tuxedo entities. For more information, contact Precise Customer Support or your SE.
About the Other Tier
The Other Tier instance is installed for software products that communicate with their clients using standard TCP/IP and that are not specifically supported by the Precise product suite. The Other Tier instance collects network activity between servers. This information is collected and managed by the Insight FocalPoint agent. For more information, contact Precise Customer Support or your SE.
About the WebSphere MQ instance
The WebSphere MQ Collectors gather general performance data on IBM WebSphere MQ instances, such as about the applications and users that are part of a process, the message body and the message header. In addition, they collect queue time and work time data. They also calculate the message queue time (the time a message spends in the queue) and the message work time (the time that elapses from the moment a message is read from a queue until a response message is put on another queue). For more information, contact Precise Customer Support or your SE.
About the SDK Add-on Tiers
The SDK Add-on Tiers feature is fully described in the SDK Add-on Tier User Guide. For more information, contact Precise Customer Support or your SE.
