Application Performance Monitoring Tools

Application Performance Monitoring (APM) for modern environments

Applications Manager offers Application Performance Monitoring (APM) where you can track the back-end performance of your business-critical applications. It helps you identify areas of performance degradation within your application so that they can be resolved before your end-users are affected. With our application performance monitoring tool, you can quickly respond to incidents, pinpoint areas that require performance tuning, and gather valuable data by analyzing user behavior.

The need for an application performance monitoring tool

Organizations with a large infrastructure often find themselves in need of a monitoring tool as part of their application performance management strategy. As their application stack would generally be reliant on a ton of dependent services, IT administrators often lack the visibility required to find and fix performance issues. Through proactive real-time monitoring and intelligent alerting, application monitoring tools offer deeper visibility into the back-end performance of your application in the form of metrics where a correlation can be drawn between different resources.

Applications Manager is one such application performance monitoring tool that lets IT and DevOps teams get answers to questions like:

  • How are my applications performing in terms of speed, availability, and user experience?
  • What are the root causes of any performance issues, errors, or anomalies that affect my applications?
  • How can I optimize the resource utilization, scalability, and reliability of my applications?
  • How do my applications align with our business goals and outcomes?

Let us take an in-depth look at the different monitoring capabilities offered by Applications Manager and how they can help fulfill your business needs.

Why is Applications Manager one of the best application monitoring tools in the market?

Applications Manager uses performance tracking, digital experience monitoring (DEM), AIOps, smart alerting, distributed tracing, and mapping capabilities to help improve application performance, availability, and end-user experience.

These are some of the features and benefits of using our application performance monitoring software:

Capabilities of our application performance monitor:

Monitor application performance extensively

Applications Manager lets you track all your business-critical applications within a single dashboard panel with some important performance parameters like availability, Apdex score, response time, error rate, throughput rate, and fatal count. This makes managing your application stack easier by enabling easy fault management, performance optimization, and resource allocation.

Within seconds of deploying Applications Manager's APM Insight agent, you can also map dependencies across different components of an application stack to understand their interaction with each other. There are graphs available for easy comprehension and analysis of critical performance metrics to understand how they impact your application over a period of time. It also lists out anomalies in the order of highest to lowest impact on application performance so that DevOps engineers can analyze the root cause and come to a conclusion on the decisive action to be taken.

We monitor the performance of applications built on:

Get code-level insights

Use Applications Manager to obtain thorough information on the transactions that are being carried out by your application. This can help you understand what causes sluggish transactions and how to speed up response time. A table view of all your transactions makes it easier to identify the slow performing ones, while the graph view can be used for breaking down each transaction and analyzing their performance parameters. Tracing these transactions enables further investigation into the line of code that is causing the error.

On analyzing each transaction, you get a list of the 5 most recent traces and the accompanying performance metrics, such as response time, CPU time, external calls, internal calls, SQL time, and Distributed Calls count. Total call count, breakdown of slowest method calls and external calls, and request parameters are some of the metrics that can be used to understand distributed data processing and aid in performance tuning.

Also, by identifying the SQL queries used during the transaction, you may figure out which database queries are performing poorly and promptly address the issue. End to end application performance monitoring solutions like Applications Manager provides all the information required to get code-level insight of your app so that necessary steps can be taken to optimize and improve overall response time.

Leverage distributed tracing for applications

In a microservices environment where there are dozens of services calling one another, it is difficult to understand what's going on inside your application and debug problems that occur in production. With built-in distributed tracing capabilities, Applications Manager can track calls made from one application to another across various platforms and languages. If an error occurs, you can easily understand which service is impacted and raise it to correct team to fix it.

You can improve time to market by deploying or updating new services and immediately visualizing the impact on the product. Applications Manager's application monitoring software also helps you improve developer productivity and output by reducing debugging and diagnostic time.

Capture errors and exceptions

Exceptions are undesirable events that occur as a result of an error during program execution which has can be used to gather information on the elements that are responsible for flow disruption. One of the keys to a solid application performance is having a clear understanding of the errors and exceptions thrown by your application. Applications Manager is a tool with excellent application performance monitoring functionalities where a dedicated dashboard panel is available to ensure prompt error and exception handling.

The tool lists out each error code and exception that has been thrown by the system which can be drilled down for further analysis, making it easier to prioritize and plan for fault management. To know more about your application exceptions and error codes, Applications Manager gives your their transaction split up where you get to know how much exceptions the recent transactions face and their error codes.

Measure end user satisfaction

Applications Manager's application performance monitoring software helps IT admins gauge their application users' satisfaction with the help of Apdex scores. The virtual score helps businesses understand how end users might experience their applications which serves as a baseline parameter for performance troubleshooting.

The Apdex score data is collected over a period of time and converted into a simple index - satisfied, tolerating, frustrated - based on the application responsiveness. Streamline troubleshooting efforts. Save precious time by quickly identifying critical debug data without performance overhead. Avoid looking through log files and reduce time to resolve issues.

Discover and map dependencies across application stack

Our App performance monitor's automated service maps help you get a complete overview of your application architecture and visualize its connections and dependencies. The service map feature of our APM monitoring tool allows you to:

  • Quickly get an overview of the current health and operational status of your entire environment.
  • Identify problematic elements and drill down further to narrow down the issue to the individual host of the external component.
  • Assess the impact of performance issues, both upstream and downstream, by looking at how the components are connected.

Track database operations

The application performance monitoring dashboard lays out extensive information about the database and its underlying operations. Discover queries consuming more time and tend to it with the help of details like average, minimum, maximum, and total response times for all DB queries.
