Abstract (EN): The Rede Telematica da Saude (RTS) is a telematic network connecting health care providers in the Aveiro region (Portugal), aiming at supporting the continuity of care. Using the RTS, health care professionals and institutions can securely share clinical data. RTS makes use of an integration engine, which accesses the scattered data sources to create a virtual unified view of patients' information. RTS is deployed over a wide-area private network, shared among a great variety of bandwidth links, systems and applications, which can impact the infrastructure service levels in multiple ways. In this paper, we describe the development of a toolkit for monitoring the performance of the distributed integration process. These analysis mechanisms make it is possible to detect bottlenecks and introduce optimizations in the system, especially with respect to the integration engine module. Its deployment in the production RTS health telematic network assists the maintenance team and the decision taking process to handle usage trends and systems needs.
