Consider me a novice to Portal land; hence pardon me for any irrelevant or
obvious queries.

My requirement is to monitor the health/performance of WAS Portal and its
components such as Desktops, Entitlements, Content Management, Portlets,
Java Page Flows. This has to be accomplished using  Java.

The metrics that I want to capture for each of these components are Response
Time and # of times invoked.

I would also be interested in capturing:

1- portlet performance by transaction and
2- portlet performance by user
3- what server metrics should I be monitoring (ie. cache settings etc..)

Do these metrics make sense (would they be useful)? Are they even possible
to collect?

Inputs on how I can write an application that can retrieve all this
information and also insights to any other metrics, components I should be
considering in order to be able to monitor a Portal Server holistically.

Please provide your inputs.

Raj.

The Tivoli Site Analyser may capture most of these data
