What is Performance Monitoring?

Performance monitoring provides the external perspective of uptime, response time, performance and reliability of a website or web application.

To be clear, Webmetrics does not provides Website Analytics (i.e. the analysis of website traffic and how website visitors have traversed a website).

 

Who benefits from Performance Monitoring?

IT Operations for maintaining uptime and complying with SLAs
Customer Support for being informed about customer issues
Your Partners if together, you require partners to deliver services to your customers
Your Customers if they require performance reports (and anyone that communicates with the customer)

 

Who is Webmetrics?
Webmetrics is a leading provider of collaborative Performance Management services for complex web ecosystems. Webmetrics’ website testing and monitoring services are used by companies and SaaS providers that want to ensure online performance, competitive advantage and a positive end-user experience. Webmetrics’ GlobalWatch services test, monitor and measure the performance of websites, transactions, web services and streaming media to ensure 24/7 uptime and performance integrity. The Company’s customers include Barnes & Noble, Bluefly.com, DHL, GMAC, PayPal, Symantec, The Knot and Yahoo.

Webmetrics has been providing external performance monitoring and load testing services since 1999.

 


How does Webmetrics do Performance Monitoring?

At the very simplest level: Webmetrics makes a single request or series of requests that constitutes a transaction on a website, web application or web service periodically (e.g. every hour or every 20 minutes, even every minute) to assess its performance.

If the site fails to respond or responds more slowly than a predefined threshold, Webmetrics sends an alert via email or to a mobile phone.

Webmetrics provides analysis and reporting tools to investigate individual performance issues and track performance over time. These performance results data are available in a variety of formats, such as Widgets and via APIs.

 

How do I filter out your monitor traffic from my webserver logs?

You can either filter out our traffic with the string "Webmetrics" in the User Agent header or filter out our traffic by our IP addresses. For Webmetrics GlobalWatch accounts, filter out the following IP addresses:
