Application Performance Monitoring

Introduction

Application Performance Monitoring (APM) technology helps you manage the performance and availability of the application, aggregating application level logs and events for subsequent interpretation.

The targeted roles APM applies most to include:

IT Operations Specialists
Site Reliability Engineers
Cloud and Platform Ops Specialists
Application Developers
Product Owners

These solutions may be offered for self-hosted deployment, as a vendor-managed hosted environment, or via Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).

Features

Use distributed tracing to build and visualize end-to-end transaction flows for the application
Separate logs and events of a non-critical environment from a production environment
Include end-to-end transaction times for key technical functions
Correlate application log events across critical system flows
