Configuring the IBM HTTP Server Response Time module

For IBM HTTP Server and Apache HTTP Server, use the IBM HTTP Server Response Time module to view real-end user response time monitoring metrics for HTTP pages.

The IBM HTTP Server Response Time module is installed and configured as part of the HTTP Server agent. The IBM HTTP Server Response Time module only works in conjunction with IBM HTTP Server and Apache HTTP Server on AIX, Linux, and Windows. The IBM HTTP Server Response Time module monitors all ports for HTTP and HTTPS requests.

Using JavaScript, IBM HTTP Server Response Time module inserts a header into web pages that are served by an IBM HTTP Server so that the Response Time Monitoring agent can monitor those pages. Embedded objects that are loaded by the page are tracked by using cookies. Transaction information from web pages that are served by IBM HTTP Server or Apache is then included in the End User Transactions dashboards.

For example:
  • End User Transactions workspace that shows data that is collected from the IBM HTTP Server Response Time module in the Transactions - Top 10:

  • End User Transactions workspace that shows data that is collected from the IBM HTTP Server Response Time module in the Subtransactions table
