Working with Application Monitoring

Application Monitoring provides a tight integration between Zend Studio and Zend Server by utilizing data collected by your server during application development and providing live notifications in Zend Studio for each Zend Server event, thus enabling you to develop and monitor your application within the same development environment.

Enabling / Disabling Application Monitoring

The following procedure describes how to manually enable or disable monitoring for requests made to a specific application.

Tip:

Monitoring is automatically enabled for applications deployed or launched with the Enable Development Mode option selected . See Deploying an Application for more information.

From the Menu-bar, select Window | Show View | Targets to display the Targets view.

In the Targets view, right-click the target associated with the application you wish to monitor, and select Start Monitoring.
