[Xymon] Can XYMON having feature to check "User Experience".

[White, Bruce]

I wrote a script which uses the text based Lynx web browser and the
Linux time command to check how on it takes a web app to respond to
downloading the initial page.  I set up a custom graph to graph the
results and we can now trend when web response is slower on our network.
Below is the script.  I had to add a space between h and ttp in the lynx
command line so my mail client wouldn't try to make it a link.

Hi All,

 

Can XYMON having feature to check "User Experience".

We are having different web based application, running in LINUX/Solaris
server.

Some time We observed all applications are showing running state but if
we click any icon(inside our own application) the response time is too
long/some-time not get the result also.

Kindly let me know any feature is available in XYMON to track it out.

 

With Thanks & Regards,

Jayanta.
