2.1 Functions of PFM - Agent for Service Response

Measurement of Internet services

Response performance of Internet services can be measured.

Data to be acquired includes response times after transmission of requests to HTTP, SMTP, and other servers and data transfer throughputs.

Measurement of Web transactions

Response performance of HTTP(S) services can be measured.

You can not only measure a pair of request and response, but also define and measure as a Web transaction a series of tasks consisting of multiple HTTP(S) requests and responses.

This measurement can be used to measure not only Web servers, but also Web applications that require logon.
