Method and system for network transaction monitoring using transaction flow signatures

Abstract

A method and system for monitoring performance of network transactions is described herein. According to the present invention, in a testing environment, transaction flow signatures representing a hierarchical flow of sub-transactions constituting the said network transactions are generated and stored for monitoring and analysis of the network transactions. In a real-time environment, the sub-transactions are identified through the stored transaction flow signatures for a particular network transaction and the identified sub-transactions are then monitored by metrics analysis engine to determine the performance of the network.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to the field of monitoring network transactions in communication networks. More particularly, it relates to methods and systems for monitoring network transactions in a communication network using transaction flow signatures. Background technique [0002] With the growing growth of online communications through the Internet, Intranets and Extranets, multiple applications are hosted by companies on the Internet to enrich their business and achieve global recognition. However, these companies check and make sure that the applications they host on the Internet are performing as expected to achieve their goals and objectives in business associations. Therefore, frequent performance monitoring of these applications executing over the Internet is required. More specifically, monitoring of multiple nodes of these applications needs to be performed to ensure normal operation at each node without failure. [0003] Typi...
