Complex, distributed Web applications have been the source of headaches for
many Web managers. In the past, pinpointing performance issues and
transaction failures has been a tedious process. Monitoring tools did a good
job identifying whether a network application was slow, but did a terrible

causing the slowdown. In August 2002 Dirig Software released BEA WebLogic
support of its flagship performance management tool, Dirig Agent with Fenway
Management Extensions (FMX), which gave IT managers a component-level view of
complex Web applications. KeyLabs tested Dirig's latest FMX add-on tool,
which creates a topographical map of the path a transaction takes through a
Web application.
