Applications Manager
Monitors applications, infrastructure and dependencies to support operational investigation.
For estates needing correlated monitoring across applications, databases, websites and supporting infrastructure.
Monitor application performance and supporting services
Application issues often span more than one layer. A slow transaction may involve application code, a database call, a server resource issue or a dependency elsewhere in the service. Separate monitoring data can make those relationships harder to investigate.
Applications Manager monitors applications, databases, logs, websites and supporting infrastructure in one product. It provides diagnostics, alerts, reporting and dependency mapping, helping IT teams identify the relevant performance, availability and dependency data when investigating an issue.
Where Applications Manager is used
Applications Manager is suited to investigating application and database slowdowns using transaction traces, code-level insight and SQL drill-downs. It can also be used to monitor website availability and response times, run synthetic browser tests, examine real user web performance, and correlate logs with application and infrastructure monitoring data.
Fits within these solutions
Suitable environments
Applications Manager applies across on-premises, cloud and hybrid estates. It supports Java, .NET, Node.js, Python, PHP and Ruby applications, alongside databases, servers, containers and websites. The Enterprise edition adds distributed monitoring and failover to the Professional edition's monitoring features.
