I'm not a CA expert, so somebody else can jump in I'm sure and expand on my ideas, but have you looked at CA SOLVE:Access yet? That's another CA session management product, previously from Sterling. It may or may not be necessary to combine SOLVE:Access (or TPX) with something like CA NetMaster Network Management for TCP/IP to get the functionality you describe, so I think I'd look in that area as well. (You may have NetMaster already anyway.) Alternatively, I believe SOLVE:Access can report into Tivoli NetView Performance Monitor if you have that.
If you're open to other vendors there are more options. (Just look for previous threads on session management products.) I do know that IBM Session Manager should provide what you're looking for via its included Response Time Monitor. Have a look at page 250 of the Session Manager V2.1 Facilities Reference to get the basic idea. Here's the direct link to that document: http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/isze3302.pdf. I'll copy/paste Example 2 from that section, and then you can post a reply if you wish saying "that's the idea" or "no, I mean this...."
