US 10,756,990 B1 · Monitoring and performance improvement of enterprise applications using correlated data associated with a plurality of service layers

Abstract

This disclosure describes, in some examples, techniques for improving, adjusting, and/or optimizing the infrastructure of a network. This disclosure also describes techniques for monitoring a network using a ping utility integrated into the monitoring platform described herein at the application service level. This disclosure further describes techniques for monitoring database performance through data collected by, for example, database scripts that capture the response time for queries. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes collecting data associated with a plurality of service layers in a network, wherein at least some of the data is collected by a plurality of agents executing on a plurality of hosts within the network; correlating the data to an application executing across the plurality of service layers; identifying, based on the correlated data, a performance issue associated with the application; determining an action to address the performance issue; and performing the action.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

collecting, by a computing system, data associated with a plurality of service layers in a network, wherein at least some of the data is collected by a plurality of agents executing on a plurality of hosts within the network, the plurality of agents including agents executing at each of the plurality of service layers;
correlating, by the computing system, the data to an application executing across the plurality of service layers by determining that the application is associated with the data;
identifying, by the computing system and based on the correlated data, a performance issue associated with the application, wherein identifying the performance issue includes identifying network latency between a first service layer and a second service layer, wherein the first service layer and the second service layer are different service layers within the plurality of service layers;
determining, by the computing system, an action to address the performance issue;
and
performing, by the computing system, the action to thereby reconfigure at least one of the service layers, wherein performing the action includes adjusting the route of at least some network traffic between the first service layer and the second service layer.

correlate the data to an application executing across the plurality of service layers by determining that the application is associated with the data;
identify, based on the correlated data, a performance issue associated with the application by identifying network latency between a first service layer and a second service layer, wherein the first service layer and the second service layer are different service layers within the plurality of service layers;
determine an action to address the performance issue;
and
perform the action to thereby reconfigure at least one of the service layers by adjusting the route of at least some network traffic between the first service layer and the second service layer.
