Abstract
A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for measuring end-to-end response time for a transaction performed by a computer is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of monitoring a start queue and an end queue in a computer, assigning a start time when a first message is received at the start queue, assigning a stop time when a second message, sent in response to the first message, is received at the end queue, and subtracting the start time from the stop time to calculate an end-to-end response time.
