Who is SL and what is RTView ?

Do you have any products that might help

me do my job ?

To the point …

Application Areas:

1. Application Support Teams requiring cross-analytics across TIBCO products

2. TIBCO Technology teams who want to do monitoring of a TIBCO product that

doesn’t have an RTView packaged monitoring app (for example: RV, BE)

3. Business Activity Monitoring driven by TIBCO message content

Tools for creation of custom monitoring applications based on TIBCO Hawk

and other data sources including JMX, XML and SQL

RTView Classic



The Holy Grail of Monitoring …

Easy and instant access to ALL information about ALL components affecting the health of applications

What is being affected ?

Where do I go to fix it ?

“Complete End-to-End Visibility”



Why is this so hard ?

Too many places to go to find the data you need …

Login to each one, remember passwords …

Different interfaces for different products

Lack of tools for some technologies, e.g. BW

App teams might not have access to system-level tools !

Too much data … how to organize by application ?



Build a solution yourself ?

Funny, but true …



Big Five ?

BMC, CA, Tivoli, OEM, HP-OV -- monolithic, often IBM or Oracle-centric, difficult to install and manage, limited access for app teams, cobbled-together solutions

Other APM products ?

DynaTrace, AppDynamics,others -- often single-app instrumention solutions that pull deep transaction information, but limited view of machine data, not much depth around TIBCO, and often limited ways to show complete state

Other Solutions ??



Collects and normalizes data from multiple sources in a

modular, highly scalable, fashion

Provides localized aggregation, analysis, and alert

processing providing horizontal scalability

Sophisticated techniques for aggregating and

propagating alert state and health metrics in an

application-oriented way

Organizes large amounts of dynamic data into end-to-

end views of application health state

So, why is RTView better ?



What do you mean by Application Context ?
