Abstract

A system and method for assembling timing data in a multi-layer server environment are disclosed. An HTML based request is generated. A time of generation of the HTML based request is then deposited in one or more hidden data fields associated with the HTML based request. The HTML based request is forwarded to one or more servers that deposit an arrival time in the one or more hidden data fields. Next, an HTML based response is generated. The arrival times provided by the one or more servers are transferred to one or more hidden data fields associated with the HTML based response. The HTML based response is forwarded to one or more servers that deposit a departure time in the one or more hidden data fields associated with the HTML based response.

Claims15

Dependent claims

A method for assembling timing data for each layer in a multi-layer server environment, comprising:

generating a first HTML based request;
depositing a time of generation of the first HTML based request in one or more hidden data fields associated with the first HTML based request;
forwarding the first HTML based request to one or more servers that each deposit an arrival time and a departure time for the first HTML based request in the one or more hidden data fields associated with the first HTML based request;
generating an HTML based response in response to receiving the first HTML based request;
depositing a time of generation of the HTML based response in one or more hidden data fields associated with the HTML based response;
transferring the arrival times, the time of generation of the HTML based request, and the departure times to the one or more hidden data fields associated with the HTML based response;
forwarding the HTML based response to one or more servers that each deposit an arrival time and a departure time in the one or more hidden data fields associated with the HTML based response;
receiving the HTML based response to a browser for displaying the HTML based response, the browser operable to store a time of arrival and a time of display for the HTML based response;
and
generating a second HTML based request, the second HTML based request including the times of generation, arrival times, departure times, and time of display for the first HTML based request and HTML based response in one or more hidden data fields associated with the second HTML based request.

7 more elements

A system for assembling timing data in a multi-layer server environment, comprising:

a browser for generating a first HTML based request including one or more hidden data fields and for displaying an HTML based response including one or more hidden data fields;
at least one first server for receiving the first HTML based request, depositing an arrival time of the first HTML based request into the one or more hidden data fields, and depositing a departure time of the first HTML based request into the one or more hidden data fields of the first HTML based request;
at least one second server for receiving the first HTML based request and generating an HTML based response in response thereto, the at least one second server operable to transfer the arrival times and departure times of the first HTML based request into the one or more hidden data fields of the HTML based response, and deposit a time of arrival of the first HTML based request and the departure time of the HTML based response into the one or more hidden data fields of the HTML based response;
and
at least one third server for receiving the HTML based response, depositing an arrival time of the HTML based response into the one or more hidden data fields, and depositing a departure time of the HTML based response into the one or more hidden data fields of the HTML based response,
wherein the browser is further operable to store a time of arrival and a time of display for the HTML based response, and generate a second HTML based request including the times of generation, arrival times, departure times, and time of display for the first HTML based request and HTML based response in one or more hidden data fields associated with the second HTML based request, and
wherein one of the at least one second server is operable to perform analysis on the times of generation, arrival times, departure times, and time of display to determine a time of delay at each server and at the browser for the first HTML based request and the HTML based response, the at least one second server further including at least one of an application server and a database server.
