Introduction

InfraRED is a tool for monitoring performance of a J2EE application and diagnosing performance problems. It collects metrics about various aspects of an application's performance and makes it available for quantitative analysis of the application.

InfraRED has the ability to monitor the complex architecture of J2EE application environments, provide detailed information for analysis and reporting, alert on performance related problems and guide you to determine the root cause of the problem. When you are trying to identify a performance issue that is causing your production application not meet customer expectations or you are trying to proactively identify issues prior to deploying your application, InfraRED is essential to helping you save time, and ultimately ensure a better performing, more scalable Java application.

InfraRED uses AOP to weave the performance monitoring code into the application. It comes with out of the box support for AspectJ and Aspectwerkz. It can also be made to work with other AOP frameworks such as JBoss AOP etc.
