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 messages inbound from and outbound to a given application in a computer. A start time is assigned when a first message is inbound towards the given application. A stop time is assigned when a second message, sent in response to the first message, is outbound from the given application. The end-to-end response time is calculated by subtracting the start time from the stop time.
