Web Application Monitoring Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the most common questions about web application monitoring. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact us.

What is Web Application Monitoring?

Modern web application monitoring is a synthetic monitoring solution that continually checks the response time, content, and overall performance of web applications. Gone are the days of websites and applications displaying static content. Today, most web applications are dynamic and are built upon a wide range of technologies, libraries, and frameworks. For example, websites and applications can be built with RIAs (Rich Internet Applications) like Java, Ruby, HTML5, Flash, and others. There are also JavaScript frameworks like React, Vue, Angular, Knockout, etc., which can be used to create SPAs (Single-page Applications). These frameworks rely on input from the client from within the browser.

If you are a web developer, it is great to have so many tools at your disposal for creating web applications. However, when it comes to monitoring how these applications and sites behave in production in front of users, that is another challenge altogether. You need a complete solution that can seamlessly support all these dynamic web application technologies, while also being able to create monitoring scripts for business-critical transactions that are vital to the success of your organization. The web application solution from Dotcom-Monitor provides DevOps teams with the flexibility and features to overcome any of these modern-day challenges.

How Does Web Application Monitoring Help?

One of the benefits of the web application monitoring solution from Dotcom-Monitor is that it can monitor virtually anything that is rendered in the browser. The solution uses the EveryStep Web Recorder, which can record and playback any steps that a user takes through your website or application, regardless of the technologies used. With the EveryStep Web Recorder, you can script and record any number of user actions, like mouse clicks, hovers, form submissions, image verification, content verification, and much more. These steps can be automatically scripted, saved, and uploaded for continuous monitoring.

It does not matter how the web page or application is generated or displayed in the browser. If it occurs in the browser, the EveryStep Web Recorder supports it. Unlike other traditional monitoring tools that only support protocol-based events, the EveryStep Web Recorder can validate the layout, content, and functionality of anything that can be displayed in a user’s browser. The recorder supports over 40 different desktop/mobile browsers and devices. Additionally, users can choose from monitoring checks as frequently as every minute to every three hours. Furthermore, Dotcom-Monitor integrates with many third-party collaboration and alerting tools your team may already use, like Slack, Azure AD, PagerDuty, and more.
