Press Release
StatWatch™ 3.0.0 Provides WebSphere MQ Transaction Latency
Reports Across Technology Silos, Tracks Transactions Across the Enterprise
MINNEAPOLIS, MN (December 7, 2007) – MQSoftware, a global provider of real-time middleware monitoring and management solutions announced StatWatch 3.0.0 today. This new release of StatWatch records part or all of Websphere MQ messages as they flow across the enterprise. StatWatch provides analytical reports, which document where messages went, and how long they took to get there. MQSoftware’s solution measures the response time of any application by calculating the latency an application took to reply to a request.
“StatWatch 3.0.0 provides transaction audit and reporting for business applications moving through WebSphere MQ environments,” says Ms. April Hickel, Vice President Product Management of MQSoftware. “Robust transaction latency reports generated by StatWatch pinpoint trouble spots and allow process optimization.”
StatWatch makes no changes to applications, installs easily and runs with very little overhead.
StatWatch monitors actual production transactions, not synthetic transactions. If there is a failure or slowdown anywhere in the monitored transaction, StatWatch will detect and report it.
StatWatch is comprised of three services: a collection agent, an Apache server and a Tomcat application server. It connects via MQ client connection or by proxy to the Websphere MQ Queue Managers it monitors. It uses both an API crossing exit as well as a channel exit, depending on the kind of data you wish to collect. StatWatch is a web application with a configurable port. It accesses its database for both administrative and reporting functions. The database can be DB2 or Oracle, and the StatWatch 3.0.0 server runs on Windows, AIX or Solaris.
