PasTmon tracks response times of web and application servers for transactions.
PasTmon has the capability to passively analyze user transaction response times of various servers such as web, FTP, DNS, IRC, POP, mail, PostgreSQL, and MySQL databases. Additionally, you can even define your signature rules to monitor custom TCP-based applications.
Installing PasTmon is straightforward. The `configure' shell script is designed to detect system-specific variables required during compilation. It then creates a `Makefile' in each directory of the package along with other files like `.h'. You can simply run the shell script `config.status' to recreate the current configuration in the future.
In case you face any issues during the installation, please refer to the `README' file which contains all the necessary instructions. If you need to do anything unusual to compile the package, try to find out how `configure' could help you achieve the same. You can also mail diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' to be considered for the next release.
To compile this package, go to the directory containing the package's source code and type `./configure' to configure the package for your system. It might take some time, and while running, it prints messages telling which features it is checking for. Next, type `make' to compile the package, `make check' to run any self-tests that come with the package, or `make install' to install the programs, and any data files and documentation.
If you wish to remove program binaries and object files from the source code directory, simply type `make clean.' For advanced users, the `make distclean' option deletes all files that `configure' had created. Although, the `make maintainer-clean' target is recommended for the package's developers only.
In conclusion, PasTmon is an excellent tool for measuring application performance and response times. If you're looking to improve your servers' efficiency, it's worth trying PasTmon.
