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. The application performance monitoring dashboard 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 application insights

Obtain thorough information on the transactions that are being carried out by your application with our application performance monitor. This helps 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.

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 application performance monitoring

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's microservices monitoring capabilities 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 APM dashboard panel is available to ensure prompt error and exception handling.
