	IBM Build to Manage Toolkit for Java Instrumentation
	IBM Build to Manage Toolkit for .NET

Easily add manageability to distributed Java™ applications. Management standards are used to instrument user code for response-time measurement, management, and event creation.

Application Response Measurement (ARM)

• Created by the Computer Measurement Group and standardized by The Open Group
• Measures application availability and performance
• Collects response times and application-detected errors, with sampling used to lower data collection overhead
• Uses correlator passing to track transactions across disparate systems

Java Management Extensions (JMX)

• The standard for management of Java applications
• Describes the programming interfaces used by applications
• Allows Java programs to expose attributes and operations, as well as to send notifications to management systems that conform to the JMX manager-agent architecture

Common Base Events

• IBM's initial implementation of the Web Services Distributed Management (WSDM) Event Format (WEF) that defines a common XML schema for logging and events
• Allow autonomic systems to evaluate disparate sources of system information before taking action

Easily add manageability to Microsoft® .NET applications. Management standards are used to instrument user code for response-time measurement, management, and event creation.

ARM

• Created by the Computer Measurement Group and standardized by The Open Group
• .NET ARM interface is a proposed standard
• Measures application availability and performance
• Collects response times and application-detected errors, with sampling used to lower data-collection overhead
• Uses correlator passing to track transactions across disparate systems; correlator works with existing ARM interfaces (for Java and C/C++)

Common Base Events

• IBM's initial implementation of the WEF that defines a common XML schema for logging and events
• Ported to .NET
• Allow autonomic systems to evaluate disparate sources of system information before taking action
