- [Keep track of transaction requests](#keep-track-of-transaction-requests)
- [Keep an eye on server utilization and system load](#keep-an-eye-on-server-utilization-and-system-load)
- [Gain visibility into session caching](#gain-visibility-into-session-caching)

## Monitor the performance of Oracle web server

Monitor the availability of the web server along with its uptime duration and ensure that your server is up and running without any interruptions. Track system resource consumption by constantly checking on the amount of CPU utilized by the web server. Keep constant checks on the response time of your web server and obtain vital information on the total user accesses and the amount of data transferred from the web server to ensure optimal performance in case of overloads.

## Keep track of transaction requests

Obtain real-time insights on the amount of request transactions that are processed by the web server. Analyze the number of requests that are handled per minute along with the rate of bytes served to help you estimate the processing capacity of the web server. Keep an eye on the average time duration taken per request to become aware in case of sudden increase in time duration and to take corrective actions quickly before end users are affected.

## Keep an eye on server utilization and system load

Proactively monitor the amount of servers utilized by the web server real-time to maintain and allocate resources accordingly. Gain visibility into server usage statistics by keeping track of the number of busy and idle servers. Analyze and compare the average system load caused by the web server in the last one, five and fifteen minutes, making it easy for you to plan server capacity.
