Application Performance Monitoring | Best APM Tool

What is Application Monitoring?

Applications are the front end of IT infrastructure, powering an organization’s business activity and serving employees and customers. Maintaining availability and fast response times for these applications is vital to business success. Application monitoring tools map dependencies between applications and the IT infrastructure that supports them and then collects data on application availability, health and performance. This data can include resource and memory usage, latency and throughput. IT operations teams use the data to prevent outages and performance bottlenecks, keeping business operations running smoothly.

Benefits of Application Monitoring

Monitoring application performance ensures uptime and optimal user experiences for commercial and open source applications and business services. Key benefits include:

Proactively detect issues, restore services and minimize outages of business critical applications.
Understand dependencies between business applications and the underlying IT infrastructure that supports them.
Reduce latency of application services to improve application response times and transaction processing times.
Improve throughput of applications so that more users can be served and more processes executed without affecting application performance.

OpsRamp Application Monitoring

The OpsRamp platform captures and aggregates critical availability and performance metrics for open source and commercial applications. OpsRamp’s application monitoring capabilities include both agent-based and agentless approaches, delivering rapid root cause analysis for performance issues. Agent-based monitoring offers granular metrics for application health visibility and dependency mapping for real-time impact analysis. Agentless monitoring enables the quick collection of application performance metrics without any management overhead. The OpsRamp AIOps engine correlates alerts and metrics to aid in prioritization and troubleshooting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does OpsRamp complement code-level APM tools?

OpsRamp aggregates, analyzes and contextualizes application performance monitoring events from popular code-level APM tools like AppDynamics, Dynatrace and New Relic to deliver comprehensive application performance visibility. API-level integrations showcase critical events from APM tools in context with the application services and infrastructure workloads that OpsRamp monitors, allowing IT teams to pinpoint the root cause of a performance issue and see which digital services are impacted.

Can OpsRamp monitor open source and enterprise applications in the cloud?

OpsRamp can monitor both open source and commercial enterprise applications running on Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, along with integration of those platforms’ own cloud monitoring tools. So if you choose to run your open source and enterprise applications in the cloud, you will have the same holistic view of your applications across cloud infrastructure as you get from using OpsRamp to manage your on-premises applications.
