FusionReactor Agent
Why do I need to install the FR Java Agent?¶
Installing FusionReactor gives you additional powerful capability and new ways to analyze your metrics as well as log data.
The FusionReactor Agent can be used to monitor Java and ColdFusion to deliver current and historical information about web transactions, memory & CPU usage, database query performance, code – memory and thread profiling, garbage collection data and automated error detection plus much more.
Benefits¶
FusionReactor provides:
-
detailed information about your application's performance, including memory and CPU usage, slow request analysis, and more.
-
an alerting system to help you proactively identify and resolve performance issues before they become critical problems.
Installing FusionReactor helps improve the stability, reliability and performance of your Java applications, making sure they meet the demands of your users.
Compatibility¶
FusionReactor is a Java agent (jar file) which contains most of the functionality and a native debugger library which provides the event snapshot, debugger, and heap analysis features.
