I have a setup like this, there are 5 applications are running ASP Net, Java and Oracle as DB. I wanted to monitor those application output of each individual.
Example: Server A returns-> Transaction A-> same transaction-id send to Server B, Server C and Server D it will be changing as Record#1. So i wanted to check all of those transactions flow should be passed on same sequence with their respective ids. In case if any of transaction fails and stopped, alert has to be send to nagios.
Do you have any solution on this or suggestion how to take this further.. thanks in advance. Let me know ifyou've any query over this..

Regards,
Raj.

It sounds like you have 5 separate servers, that run the same applications. You would like to start a transaction on server A and verify that server b,c,d all see it correctly? Is this all handled through http transactions?

I would not be able to tell you how to best check your own web app, however the plugin that you would most likely want to use is WebInject. It should allow for monitoring transactions through a single or multiple servers and page loads.
