Mechanism for monitoring and alerts of computer systems applications

A system including at least one computer and code executable thereby for implementing a mechanism for monitoring performances of applications of an application chain. The system includes an arrangement forming a measuring repository on the one hand for measuring levels of use of resources of applications during periods of degradation of performances of the applications, and by application and by period of the application chain, in a memory storing these levels of use. The arrangement is further operable to: establish a repository of use data by defining and storing in at least one memory, by resource and by application, thresholds of acceptable performance of the level of use of the measuring repository; constitute a categorization module of performance problems as a function of measuring and use repositories; and implement an alert mechanism when the monitoring mechanism detects a performance problem of the applications or when the problem is resolved.
