According to the rapid evolution of internet, the number of internet users has greatly increased, so that the web servers are getting more important. If there are a great number of users trying to connect to a popular web server, the load of the web server will increase rapidly, so that failures may occur or web services may stop. An efficient load monitoring technique is required for the available web services and the performance management. The traditional techniques for load monitoring of web server using the client-server method have the problem that the server programs in client-server method must be pre-installed to all web servers. This paper implements web server load monitoring system using the mobile agent in order to overcome the problem of client-server computing. The system based on the mobile agent has no need to install the program in advance and it reduces the network traffic and the additional overheads in web servers.
