AppDynamics announced the public beta of Server Monitoring, its application-centric server monitoring platform that proactively detects and helps quickly resolve server performance issues in context of business transactions.
Server Monitoring is a key component of the AppDynamics Unified Monitoring solution, complementing AppDynamics’ end-user, application and database monitoring to provide end-to-end visibility of application performance and reduced monitoring complexity, all with the goal of optimizing the end-user experience.
An integral part of the AppDynamics Application Intelligence Platform, Server Monitoring provides enhanced host visibility; extended CPU, network and storage performance metrics; a comprehensive dashboard; and detailed process list information.
Key benefits and functionality of Server Monitoring include:
- Enhanced CPU, network and storage performance metrics with comprehensive dashboard
- Detailed information on all running processes on the servers
- Configurable health rules and policies for automating the identification and resolution of server performance issues
- Correlation of application and server performance, with detailed snapshots
- Proactive alerting when transaction performance violates baselines, avoiding unnecessary alert storming
- Troubleshooting and diagnosis of performance issues in a live production environment using fine-grained historical data
- Server scalability analysis with pre-built correlation between CPU utilization/response time and application load
The solution requires minimal configuration, can be deployed in minutes, and generally consumes less than two percent overhead. It offers the flexibility of deployment on-premises, via SaaS, or as a hybrid, as part of AppDynamics Application Intelligence Platform. Finally, the system integrates with incident and alerting systems including ServiceNow, PagerDuty, and Jira.
“Server monitoring is a critical component for an effective end-to-end performance monitoring strategy,” said Jyoti Bansal, AppDynamics founder and CEO. “Server Monitoring addresses that need, and as an integral element of the AppDynamics Application Intelligence Platform, helps to break down the silos that obscure true end-to-end, application-to-infrastructure visibility. By tracing business transactions across the entire application environment, the AppDynamics platform simplifies and accelerates root cause identification and resolution, minimizing impact on users.”
