OPNET introduces .NET support in Panorama

By David Worthington

April 16, 2008 — A mature Java EE application analytics and monitoring solution has been ported to Microsoft’s .NET platform.

OPNET Technologies made OPNET Panorama 5.0 generally available on March 25. For the first time, Panorama provides life-cycle performance management for .NET and Java, as well as Java environments within multi-tier infrastructures.

The .NET features, new in this release, cover dynamic threshold alarms, events and metrics correlation, identification of application errors through code instrumentation, and measurement collection.

P.J. Malloy, vice president of engineering for application performance solutions at OPNET, explained that Panorama’s core technology is byte code instrumentation. OPNET takes advantage of hooks in the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) to instrument applications when classes are loaded.

Malloy explained that Panorama avoids rewriting developers’ code by “surgically” implanting instrumentation points through .NET and Java EE APIs designed for that purpose.

Panorama may be deployed into production environments without being a drag on performance, by monitoring the overhead it introduces and turning off its own instrumentation as necessary, he noted.

Panorama garners additional statistics from the CLR, including metrics for garbage collection, global health and heap utilization, and listing threads spawned by a process, Malloy added.

“We borrowed heavily from lessons learned from instrumenting Java at that level of detail. Customers told us that we had to move beyond Java; we recognized that, and have worked on [.NET support] for a while,” he said.

He added that OPNET would expand Panorama’s .NET coverage going forward with more automated analysis, more sophisticated memory analytics and a better overall user experience.
