Transcription

1 DIA120 - Diagnostics 9.x Essentials Instructor-Led Training Workshop format For version 9.0 OVERVIEW This course introduces HP Diagnostics and teaches the ability to visualize, analyze, and ultimately improve the performance of enterprise applications. The course instructs on installation, configuration, and tuning of the Diagnostics components, how to troubleshoot the HP Diagnostics system performance, as well the use of the Diagnostics Profiler in Java EE/.NET environments. In addition to core capabilities, architecture, and navigation of Diagnostics, this course introduces techniques for performance trending and analysis of complex performance issues and bottlenecks. This class uses a workshop format with the emphasis on the hands-on lab exercises.
