Hi,
As per my understanding and experience, I have encountered App servers with inbuilt webserver so we do not have two different servers as such. I have worked on Weblogic 6 and 8 and Pramati 4.1SP2. In these two app servers we do not have web server as an extra component so on a single machine whereever we have App server, we have web server too.
We have the QA environment setup on Linux. In order to monitor the load on DB server, we use SAR software. This s/w monitors the load on DB server.
We can configure different kind of graphs in Loadrunner for monitoring. You may please check out that.

For this, be it any type of servers (app, web or db) in a 3-tier architecture, all you have to do is to configure the monitors on the respective servers and the statistics will be collected accordingly.? However, having said that, you will have to know what to collect such as CPU, memory stats, etc...
