Wily Technology, a provider of enterprise application management services, announced availability of the Wily Browser Response Time (BRT) Adapter™ for monitoring Web application response to end-user browser requests. Wily's BRT Adapter is the first performance monitor to provide full, component-level transaction visibility from the browser to back-end systems with no hardware, no synthetic transactions, no application code changes, no security risk and with low overhead, the company said. The Wily BRT Adapter is integrated with Wily Introscope®, an application monitoring and management tool, and is fully functional out of the box.

"IT organizations seeking to maximize performance and availability of the new generation of composite Web applications will need to consider tools that enable end-to-end transaction visibility," said Cameron Haight, Research Vice President, Gartner, Inc. "These tools should not only detect problems with end user performance, but also be able to effectively determine the cause of these issues, be it related to Java applications, in connected back-end systems or at the network layer."

Wily said its BRT Adapter allows IT operations staff to immediately pinpoint performance problems to either the network, the Java application or back-end supporting systems, and to alert the right support staff for quick resolution. It can monitor response time by URL-groups, enabling isolation of the specific business application that is suffering; and, it can monitor response time by IP-address, helping identify which specific group of users are experiencing problems.

The company said the adapter includes the following feature:

• Browser response time monitor for all user requests



• Automatic grouping and reporting of metrics by URL, IP, or Data Center location. *Customizable dashboards



• Integration with Wily's Introscope, including alerts and historical reporting Support for browsers including Internet Explorer 5.x and 6.x, and Mozilla 1.x Support for application servers including IBM WebSphere 5.0, 5.1; BEA WebLogic 6.1, 7.0, 8.1; or any J2EE 1.3 and Servlet 2.3-compliant application server
