Rich Internet Application Monitoring (RIA Monitoring) provides comprehensive monitoring for complex web applications and provides the most precise performance monitoring service available. At its core, RIA Monitoring uses Internet Explorer v7 to provide availability and performance information for websites containing sophisticated JavaScript, that make use of AJAX techniques or provide a rich user experience.

GlobalWatch for RIA can be used to monitor virtually any type of Web 2.0 and Rich Internet Application, simulating true user interaction leveraging the world’s most popular web browser.

Webmetrics has devoted significant resources to create a monitoring service with the most robust and extensive support for rich user experience that differentiates the next generation of web applications.

Watir-based technologies provide the ability to control and interact with the IE browser and can replicate real user interactions, such as text entry, mouse clicks, form submissions, and mouse gestures, and verify expected results. Webmetrics has extended this open source standard to provide an open, flexible platform for Webmetrics’ monitoring services targeted at measuring the performance of the latest breed of rich and sophisticated web applications.

GlobalWatch for RIA supports the following:

• Complex JavaScript
