About monitoring services and application servers
As a tenant, you can use iWorkflow™ to monitor the health statistics and performance of applications and servers. In addition to the application itself, the health of an application is influenced by its associated objects, including:
- Application server nodes
- Virtual servers that optimize application traffic
- Clouds
Monitoring services
Before you can monitor a service, you must first deploy it.
Monitoring statistics and performance details for services and associated network
objects provides you with the information you need to make resource management
decisions. The statistics for services are collected by the managed BIG-IP® device and include various network statistics, such as connections,
bits per second, and so forth. The performance data displays the services performance
trend over a period of time.
Monitoring application servers
A cloud provider must have discovered, or you must have added, an application server
before you can monitor it.
Monitoring health and performance statistics for your application servers provides you useful information about the health and usage for your resources. This information helps you decide when to increase or decrease resources to support your application requirements.
Viewing activity for cloud resources
Viewing activity for dynamic cloud resources gives you insight into how cloud
resources are expanding to address increased traffic to applications.
