Dashboard for on-the-fly AJAX monitoring
A system and method for monitoring a web-page utilizing a dashboard application is disclosed herein. On the server-side, the present invention modifies each of the plurality of objects of a web-page by adding additional instrumentation code and attributes to create a modified web-page with reporting functions to the dashboard application. The modified web-page is served to the client-side and real-time information for the modified web-page is reported to the dashboard application.
1. A method for monitoring a Web-application utilizing a dashboard application to monitor the Web-application, the method comprising:
transmitting a request from a client-side to a server-side for a Web-page of a rich web site utilizing Asynchronous and JavaScript XML;
retrieving the Web-application at a server-side;
parsing and executing the Web-application on the server-side;
analyzing a plurality of load producing traffic for the Web-page in real-time on the server-side;
creating a dashboard application for the Web-application on-the-fly on the server-side;
accessing on the server-side a plurality of objects of the Web-application;
modifying each of the plurality of objects of the Web-application by adding additional instrumentation code and attributes to create a modified Web-application with real-time reporting functions to the dashboard application;
aggregating a plurality of original JavaScript files for the Web-application into a single file, caching the single file, and replacing a plurality of links to the original Java Script files into a single link to the single file;
serving the modified Web-application to the client-side;
reporting real-time information for the modified Web-application to the dashboard application, the real-time information comprising a status and a performance of the Web-application; and
monitoring the real-time information for the modified Web-application to optimize the Web-application.
2. The method according to claim 1 wherein the Web-application is a Web-page.
3. The method according to claim 1 wherein the Web-application is a Web-site.
4. The method according to claim 1 wherein the dashboard application is a desktop application.
5. The method according to claim 1 wherein the reporting comprises usage of page controls.
