The RTI Enterprise collector conceptually extends the JBossON agent to include the
monitoring, profiling, tracing, data collection, and configuration features provided
by RTI. The RTI Console extends the JBoss ON server not only by controlling
RTI-specific configuration, but also by providing improved visualizations of
performance-related metrics.
The RTI Console can connect to your JBoss ON Server, and through it to multiple
platforms (hosts), whether or not those hosts include RTI. On each JBossON-managed
platform, RTI Enterprise runs inside the application server JVM, collecting
information about its classes and translating those into business transactions. The
collected data is kept local to each platform app-server machine until you request
it through the RTI Console or via a JBoss ON-defined Alert Notification. The RTI
Console then correlates and displays this data, and provides mechanisms to tune
collection parameters and tracing.
The picture below illustrates the simplest architecture of an enterprise
architecture that is managed with JBoss ON and has RTI integrated for performance
analysis:
