OCI Application Performance Monitoring for PeopleSoft

The OCI Application Performance Monitoring (APM) service enables administrators to monitor and observe the PeopleSoft web applications.

It provides deep visibility into the application performance from end-user experience down through to the application server requests.

For many customers, the PeopleSoft (PSFT) Application is critical to business operations. With OCI Application Performance Monitoring (APM) service, administrators can:

Analyze all end user experience with accessing PeopleSoft web pages.
Trace transactions across various components and isolate problems to the impacting application or infrastructure tier.
Has ability to drill into application code.
Generally, APM tools cannot drill into the SQL code for the PeopleSoft application. This inability occurs is because, the SQL call is performed in the Tuxedo layer. However, OCI APM service offers a unique feature to overcome this limitation. It can perform instrumentation of outbound JOLT calls from WebLogic to Tuxedo. This helps at least understand how much time is spent in this layer.
Easily Capture End Username for user sessions without modifying application code
Search in context based on PeopleSoft attributes including:
– Portal Name
– Portal Object Name
– and more

How To Capture Client IP in OCI Application Performance Monitoring

The Oracle Cloud Application Performance Monitoring (APM) service collects end user trace sessions for Real User Monitoring (RUM). By default the client IP is not captured for the end user session. For some customers, default Geolocation info (eg. Country, Region, City) may be sufficient for end user monitoring. However, for those who want to collect Client IP information as well, to enable this setting please see the following example.

Enable Client IP Collection for End User Session

For every End User Session, we want to capture the Client IP address location.
