Usage Note 24549: What is the Application Response Measurement (ARM)?
Developed by an industry partnership, ARM is an application programming interface (API) that is used to monitor the availability and performance of transactions within and across diverse applications. While there are other techniques for measuring response times,only ARM measures them accurately. With ARM, you can log transaction records from an application in order to
- determine the application response times
- determine the workload/throughput of your applications
- verify that service level objectives are being met
- determine why the application is not available
- verify who is using an application
- determine why a user is having poor response time
- determine what queries are being issued by an application
- determine the subcomponents of an application's response time
- determine which servers are being used
- calculate the load time for data warehouses.
The ARM standard is vendor-neutral and is targeted toward managing the performance of distributed applications. For more details on why ARM was developed and how it is used, refer to the following Web documents:
