Abstract
A performance management system is provided for monitoring performance of an application across a distributed computing environment, including within one or more mainframe computers. In the mainframe environment, a transaction manager is configured to receive a transaction request from an application executing remotely from the mainframe computer. An event agent is invoked via a user exit by the transaction manager and operates to detect events caused by the handling of the transaction by the transaction manager. Upon detecting such events, the event agent generates event messages for select events associated with the transaction, where the event message includes identifying information for the transaction. A translator agent is configured to receive the event messages from the event agent and transmit the event data record to a server located remotely from the mainframe computer, where the event data record includes the identifying information for the transaction.
