inspectIT 1.3 officially released

---

We are happy to announce the release of inspectIT version 1.3 which provides new features to analyse your application.

The http sensor allows to keep track of http related information within your application. Each http based request that your application gets will be displayed and measured. You get the request URI, all headers, parameters and attributes that were provided with the request. As the http sensor also captures the time each request took you get a very good overview about which http operation took the most time in your system. As the http sensor also fully supports navigation you can easily navigate to the invocation sequences that were executed for each http request and thus diagnose a problematic runtime with ease

inspectIT widens the instrumentation possibilities and allows to instrument "core" classes of the JDK (that is java., javax., ...). This feature provides you the means to inspect your application is more details. In addition this feature also applies to other sensors like the exception sensor which you can now set to trace java core exceptions (like Nullpointers - You would not believe how many exceptions are thrown in a normal application server start up ;))

The new improved instrumentation process is now capable of instrumenting applications that are OSGi enabled. Application servers, which rely internally on the OSGi platform (equinox, ...) should now be fully accessible for the instrumentation process.

You can have a detailed look at the new features in our wiki: https://confluence.novatec-gmbh.de/display/INSPECTITDOC/Release
