Monitoring of Web Applications and GlassFish for Performance and Availability – a Parleys.com use Case

Join Stephan Janssen – Founder of Parleys.com, BeJUG and Devoxx – as he shares his experience in monitoring of their web application infrastructure using the RTView platform. Learn how the Parleys team was able to get better visibility into potential performance hotspots in their web applications from monitoring their GlassFish application servers  and associated JVM processes resulting in better user responsiveness on the Parleys.com website.

Tom Lubinski, the Founder and CTO of SL, will discuss how RTView helps application support and operation teams uncover bottlenecks and performance issues reducing their overall support costs and resources to maintain operations. An overview of the product architecture, solution offerings and use cases will be discussed.

Hotspot and Bottleneck Analysis in Oracle Coherence

Would you like your Coherence clusters to perform well in production? We all know the cluster needs enough resources in terms of memory, CPU and network bandwidth. These requirements are well understood.  So why should you care about hotspots or bottlenecks? These issues are harder to fix because adding more resources is rarely the answer. Everett Williams, SL’s Senior Director of Technology, will show how SL Corp’s RTView Oracle Coherence Monitor can help you literally “see” a hotspot. In this practical session, Everett will discuss Coherence’s service architecture and how the service MBean data can be used to find latency, queuing and contention in Coherence – conditions that can degrade performance and prevent your cluster workload from scaling. He will then discuss typical causes of poor performance and possible solutions.
