Provided are methods and computer program products for monitoring the contents of network traffic in a network device and identifying and analyzing transactional network traffic. Methods of collecting network traffic data for transactional traffic may include application of port level filtering and/or protocol level filtering. The filtering methods described herein may assist the operator in identifying transactional and infrastructure problems resulting in application performance degradation.

Methods and computer program products for analysis of network traffic by port level and/or protocol level filtering in a network device

Provided are methods and computer program products for monitoring the performance of network applications executing within operating-system-level virtualization containers. Methods may include enumerating operating-system-level virtualization containers on a networked device; creating a named pipe accessible by at least one application running in each operating-system-level virtualization container; retrieving, via the named pipe, performance data gathered by the at least one application, including an identification of each operating-system-level virtualization container; generating metrics based on the retrieved performance data; and generating an event incorporating the metrics, including operating-system-level virtualization container identifiers.

Provided are methods and computer program products for identifying and monitoring related business application processes executing on at least one networked device. Methods may include identifying a first process that corresponds to a specified business application process; identifying root processes by tracing a dependency path from the first process to each of the root processes; grouping at least one of the root processes into a root group; and identifying a dependency chain of the at least one root process in the root group.
