With Foglight's PeopleSoft performance monitoring capabilities, you'll have visibility into the entire application stack in context, so you can better prioritize corrective actions before availability problems affect end users.

Just one of the dashboards available in Foglight to visualize the health of the environment, the Foglight PeopleSoft geographical dashboard monitors each tier of the application from the end-user perspective to application servers, database servers, and the internals of the application, including the process schedulers. This view shows the health of the application from an SLA, end-user and infrastructure tier perspective. It also shows the details of those perspectives, with clickable drill downs for each.
By clicking on the previous screen's web tier yellow warning icon, users can see a PeopleSoft Web Tier alarm. This alarm illustrates an example where the PeopleSoft web server isn't responding within the prescribed service level for a specific request. You can drill down to get more detail by clicking on the "Instance" hyperlink in the upper left of the alarm.
This dashboard shows the requests and response times from the PeopleSoft web server. The trends and exceptions are easy to see. For this example, we can see that this request has varied in the last four hours between 1.38 and 17.42 seconds. It is currently running about 9.9 seconds.
In addition to viewing requests, you can view the details of the Java server. This example shows the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) heap pools. Other key metrics, like JDBC connection pools, are also available from the Java server home page dashboard.
In addition to looking at the Java server from an infrastructure point of view, this dashboard shows a PeopleSoft transaction from an end-user point of view such as the HR Payroll user. This view answers the questions: is the problem in the back-end infrastructure or on the client side, how many people are executing this transaction and how many experience problems. Additionally, it can answer the question of where are the users who are having problems.
When users have issues, Foglight can search for those sessions and display a list of specific transactions. In this screen, Foglight details 7 errors that occurred during 2 HR Payroll end-user transactions.
For a problematic user session, Foglight can re-display the page as the user saw it. In this case, the full navigation path of the pages the user visited, as well as the parameters for each page, is shown on the left. By capturing the full details of the pages users visited, Foglight can perform forensic analysis without requiring additional details from the user.
You can use this view to determine the health and availability of specific PeopleSoft components, including application servers, scheduler servers and the PeopleSoft database. This example shows just one application server and one scheduler server, but you can view utilization and availability for an entire enterprise from one screen.
Drill downs for each of the components provide additional detail. In this example, the historical utilization of the application server is shown. The left-hand side of the screen lists other available views; users can click on these to drill down into further detail.
In addition to these examples of the PeopleSoft end-user experience and application server details, Foglight for PeopleSoft includes many out-of–the-box rules and alerts to continuously and proactively ensure that the application is running optimally. Combined with exceptional end user, Java and database monitoring, Foglight is a complete application performance monitoring (APM) solution.
