Application Performance Monitoring

The Modern Web App Clients on all sorts of devices

and your internal services

that are often dependent on external resources…

connect to external resources like CDNs and 3rd party services

Your on-premises environment

running on dynamic and elastic infrastructureYour cloud

environment

And, this all happens under an unprecedented era of almost continuous delivery of new features.

Huh? Why are we talking about APM? This is a “moving to the cloud presentation”.

Application Performance Monitoring (APM)

Web applications are the life-blood of modern business.

Tradition systems-based monitoring approaches for simply don’t work well for modern web applications.

Application Performance Monitoring offers an approach that transcends the location of application components.

And, in the case of Foglight APM, we have several distinct advantages for helping organizations who are moving into the cloud.

Surprise!!!

Who doesn’t love a surprise?

• CIOs

• Line of Business Owners

• Application Support Engineers

What is APM?

Analysts would say it is multiple dimensions

• Monitoring transactions and end-user requests

• Discovering the application run time topology

• Monitoring the software elements (like application servers) in the context of the transactional activity

• Applying analytics to sort through all of the data

On a more emotional level, we say it is

• A way to make sure that application technicians have all the information they need to do their jobs successfully

• A way for IT executives to ensure that they don’t get the bad surprises

• And ultimately, once applications are well under control, it offers technical team members a way to be more proactive in improving performance and availability.
