BMC Synthetic End User Experience Monitoring architecture

Scripting utility

Borland Silk Performer Synthetic Transaction Monitoring for BMC Software is a utility that enables the user (typically an application specialist) to record or author .ltz scripts that simulate user transactions.

The scripting utility also serves as an execution module to run scripts on the computer with the BMC Synthetic Transaction Execution Adapter (TEA) Agent.

BMC Synthetic End User Experience Monitoring Plug-in
(part of the BMC Application Management Console)

Plug-in on the BMC Application Management Console that enables you to manage script execution and view TEA Agent status and drill down to execution logs.

Performance Analytics Engine

A component that enables you to store traffic data in a central, off-board storage location, and to locate the root causes of problems by sorting and filtering data in an intuitive and efficient way (by "zooming in" on categories of most relevance).

BMC Synthetic Transaction Execution Adapter (TEA) Agent and execution module

Remote agent that runs synthetic scripts and transfers results to the Real User Collector.

Each computer with the TEA Agent requires an execution module to run the scripts. On each TEA Agent computer, you can install the full Silk Performer installation or a smaller execution-module-only installation.

Real User Collector

Component that receives synthetic transaction data from TEA Agents.

Real User Analyzer

Component that analyzes and displays data from the Real User Collector.
