Redbook Abstract
Using Tivoli's ARM Response Time Agents, SG24-2124-00
  Abstract
This redbook explains what Tivoli's ARM Agents are, and what they can do. It shows you how to install and set up the Agents, and how to display the data they collect in a Web browser and with Reporter. There is a discussion of how to make the best use of the Agents in a production environment. The book also explains how to instrument your applications for the ARM API, so that you can measure performance, account for their use, and monitor availability. This redbook should be especially helpful if: o You want to measure response times for your application users. o You know that you have response time problems, and you want to isolate the cause. o You are wondering what ARM is all about. o You want to know what the ARM agents can do for you.

o You have Distributed Monitoring and want to know how to install and set up the ARM Agents. o You want to know how to make the best possible use of the ARM Agents.
