Hi,

What's the best way to find out exactly time (in seconds) spent IHS server and WAS server separately?

We have an environment consists of 2 IHS servers and 2 WAS servers, 2 WAS servers clustered and each IHS connected to cluster through plugins.

We found out info from IHS log, plugin log and WAS log are not enough to figure out a request process time spend on IHS and WAS separately, one suggestion is to enable TPV, but that way WAS performance may be reduced, so is there better way to archive timing spend check on IHS and WAS?

Thanks,
Eric 

Most recent versions of WAS provide support application response measurement (ARM).  You can enable ARM to run from the plugin through a WAS request.  You can set ARM to different levels of "tracing".  The ARM output is either sent to the WAS logs or can be directed ARM capable monitoring tool.

Thanks so much Paul.

Unfortunately, we are using WAS7.0.0.0.21, instead of WAS8.0, looks like there is need to install 3rd party software for timing purpose but not sure about it.

I'm still working on it, hope can find out solutions.

Cheers

check if any of these can help you to an extent
