Abstract: Provided are methods and computer program products for monitoring application performance in a networked device. Methods may include collecting performance data corresponding to at least one application running on the networked device; generating multiple metrics based on the collected performance data; generating an event incorporating at least one of the multiple metrics; and storing the event and an associated timestamp in a persistent data store. Methods may also include transmitting a listing of one or more persistent data store files responsive to receiving a query from a network health data processing application for existing persistent data store files, and transmitting a specified persistent data store file responsive to receiving a request for the specified persistent data store file by a network health data processing application.

Abstract: Provided are methods and computer program products for monitoring and reporting network application performance in a networked device. Methods may include collecting performance data corresponding to at least one application running on the networked device in substantially real time using at least one kernel space driver interface; generating multiple kernel level metrics and multiple user level metrics based on the collected performance data; aggregating the kernel level metrics and the user level metrics that were generated during a predefined time interval; and generating, responsive to aggregating the kernel level metrics and the user level metrics, an event incorporating the aggregated metrics.

Abstract: Provided are methods and computer program products for aggregating and reporting network application performance metrics by process pool. Methods may include mapping ones of a plurality of processes into one of at least one process pool; and aggregating, for each of the process pools, performance metrics generated for each of the plurality of processes mapped into that process pool.

Abstract: Provided are methods and computer program products for identifying and monitoring related business application processes executing on at least one networked device. Methods may include identifying a first process that corresponds to a specified business application process; identifying root processes by tracing a dependency path from the first process to each of the root processes; grouping at least one of the root processes into a root group; and identifying a dependency chain of the at least one root process in the root group.
