Our Criblpedia glossary pages provide explanations to technical and industry-specific terms, offering valuable high-level introduction to these concepts.
In today’s competitive digital landscape, businesses of all sizes need to deliver exceptional user experience. To stay ahead, organizations must make application performance a top priority.
We’ll delve into the role of application performance monitoring in ensuring business success.
APM stands for Application Performance Monitoring. It is a set of tools and processes used to monitor and manage the performance and availability of software applications.
APM is a suite of monitoring tools and processes designed to ensure that software applications perform as expected. It involves tracking various metrics such as response times, error rates, transaction times, and system resource utilization. They are used to quickly identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, ensuring optimal application performance and user satisfaction.
Note that APM can also stand for Application Performance Management, but that is a different term.
Modern applications often exhibit significant complexity due to a variety of factors:
Poor performance in applications can have several serious consequences, impacting both the technical and business aspects of an organization:
Overall, ensuring good application performance is crucial to maintaining user satisfaction, protecting revenue, and upholding a positive brand reputation. This underscores the importance of robust Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tools and proactive performance management strategies.
APM uses tracking software for:
Several popular Application Performance Monitoring (APM) platforms are widely used to monitor, optimize, and manage application performance. Here are some of the leading APM platforms:
These APM platforms provide various features tailored to different environments and use cases, helping organizations ensure their applications run smoothly and efficiently.
A variety of stakeholders across different roles and industries, all of whom benefit from maintaining high-performance standards for applications. Here are some of the typical users of APM:
APM tools provide critical insights that help these stakeholders ensure applications run smoothly, efficiently, and in alignment with business objectives.
Getting started with Application Performance Monitoring (APM) involves several key steps to ensure you effectively monitor and optimize your application’s performance. Here’s a general guide:
By following these steps, you can effectively set up and leverage APM tools to monitor, diagnose, and optimize the performance of your applications, ensuring a better user experience and alignment with business goals.
Cribl Stream and Cribl Search can empower organizations to transform their APM data strategy. Providing —100% Data capture/retention while selectively sampling traces and sending them to your APM tool of choice.
Alternatively, you can use Search alone to give insights into your applications without sending data anywhere. This approach will provide you with control over the trace volume, sending the correct data to your APM solution, and help keep costs under control while giving you 100% observability. Ultimately, this approach eliminates the need to choose between cost and observability.
