About monitoring applications and application servers
As a tenant, you can use BIG-IQ Cloud to monitor the health statistics and performance of applications and servers. In addition to the application itself, the health of an application is influenced by its associated objects, including:
- Servers that host applications
- Virtual servers that manage traffic to applications
- Connectors
Monitoring applications
Before you can monitor an application, you must first deploy it.
Monitoring statistics and performance details for applications and associated
network objects provides you with the information you need to make resource management
decisions. The application statistics are collected by the managed BIG-IP device and
include various network statistic, such as connections, bits per second, and so forth.
The performance data displays the application performance trend over a period of
time.
Monitoring application servers
A cloud provider must have discovered, or you must have added, an application server
before you can monitor it.
Monitoring health and performance statistics for your application servers provides you useful information about the health and usage for your resources. This information helps you decide when to increase or decrease resources to support your application requirements.
