By using the trace based performance analysis, you can monitor the operational status of each software type that configures the system and the trace information output by each server during request processing, thus you can check the processing performance of the whole system. If you monitor the processing performance, you can determine whether the study of an Application Server bottleneck and implementation of performance tuning is required. Furthermore, by analyzing the trace information output by the processing of the applications, you can check and compare the application performance. If you analyze the performance, you can check for application bottlenecks and determine whether the application requires improvement.

The following table describes the organization of this chapter.
