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.”

Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
When most people think about cybersecurity, they picture firewalls, encryption, and access controls — technical tools designed to protect systems and data. But beneath the technology lies a deeper set of principles about trust, decision-making, and resilience ... The best leaders don't eliminate risk. They manage it intelligently. And in many ways, cybersecurity offers a surprisingly useful playbook for doing exactly that ...
Many organizations assumed their infrastructure strategy was settled. It had been implemented, optimized and built into long-term plans. Recent changes in technology and vendor consolidation are forcing a second look. Cloud outages and licensing changes have exposed how much dependency exists on a small number of platforms. As a result, organizations are reevaluating whether those decisions still hold up under current conditions ...
