DB Monitor, a database monitoring and data collection utility, is now Generally Available on Oracle, Sybase and Microsoft platforms.
Boston, MA, August 1, 2001
CYRANO today announced the release of the new DB Monitor module for OpenSTA™. OpenSTA™ (Open System Testing Architecture) is a free and Open Source distributed testing environment that enables you to perform realistic e-business applications heavy load or stress tests with performance measurement.
The DB Monitor module complements the HTTP/S load testing capability of OpenSTA™ by extending the range of data collection and monitoring options available when performance testing web applications. It supports the creation of Collectors that monitor and collect data from database server components of production systems and web applications during performance Tests. Collectors are incorporated into Tests to target these components with SQL requests and to collect results data for analysis so that performance of your entire Web application can be evaluated.
DB Monitor allows DBAs, Test Engineers, and QA staff to:
Identify if the database server is a bottleneck in your Web application, by defining performance rules.
Identify possible issues on a database server before users notice it, by defining lower thresholds during load test.
Monitor 24x7 real activity of the database server.
Define anomalies and associated severity rating for raising alerts.
Generate snapshots of database server activity to display information about processes, locks and general context so that anomalies can be cleared.
Show SQL statements and the name of stored procedures running at any given time.Utilize a single tool for monitoring, testing and reporting, so that results can be shared between departments.

About OpenSTA™
OpenSTA™ (Open System Testing Architecture) is an Open Source, user-centric, repository-based testing and monitoring system for Web Application Environments. Using the same base architecture, OpenSTA™ can be deployed throughout the entire lifecycle of WAE development, from component-based testing, through integration and acceptance testing, and into production. Once the WAE is in production, OpenSTA™ is then used to monitor system performance and availability on a continuous basis.
OpenSTA™'s unique distributed processing facility allows a single test operator to plan, control, execute and analyze tests over a complete, enterprise-wide, distributed and heterogeneous computing network, so that all project management can be controlled from a single console. Once developed, tests can be run again and again at minimum cost, so that testing no longer is a 'throw-away' activity.
Whenever performance bottlenecks are highlighted during production monitoring, the data collected from the production run can be used as the basis for developing load tests. These can be run on-line or off-line to enable customers to quickly track and correct problems within the WAE.
OpenSTA™'s ability to use a single base architecture for production monitoring and load testing offers major advantages for scalability testing. By capturing the current input to their WAE, and then combining this with the modeling capabilities of OpenSTA™'s load testing components, customers can quickly assess the capabilities of their WAE in line with their business requirements. OpenSTA™ is freely available at http://opensta.org/. Commercial resources for OpenSTA™ are available at http://opensta.com/ and http://cyrano.com.
