AppDynamics has extended APM support to the PHP platform.

AppDynamics for PHP will enable Operations and Development teams to focus on the performance of business transactions and user requests when monitoring their application, rather than analyzing primitive server metrics such as CPU, memory, or Disk I/O.

For example, if a user makes a “payment” on an e-commerce website, AppDynamics will learn the baseline performance of that transaction and trigger alerts to application support teams when transaction performance deviates from its historical norm.

AppDynamics for PHP includes ability to:

- Auto-Discover: Application tier dependencies and business transactions (user requests)

- Self-Learn: Performance of every business transaction so baselines and alerts are accurate

- Trace Transactions: Across application tiers including databases and 3rd party web services

- Deep-Dive Diagnostics: AppDynamics offers complete code-level visibility into the performance of slow and stalled Business Transactions, which can reduce Mean-Time-to-Resolution by up to 90%.

“PHP is increasingly used in enterprise environments for the foundation of critical business applications, but those applications tend to be complicated, hard to manage, and contain issues that cause both performance problems and outages,” said Jyoti Bansal, Founder & CEO of AppDynamics. “Our PHP product will have the same secret sauce: the ability to monitor every line of code and alert on performance problems, but still have a low enough overhead to be deployed directly in production.”

AppDynamics will offer new customers a free pre-production license for PHP for every production license purchased up to 100 licenses, and 50% off pre-production licenses for each production license bought thereafter.

According to Joe Sexton, President of Worldwide Field Operations at AppDynamics, this pricing structure is meant to help companies with tight budgets to offer the same visibility across their entire organization. “Application performance belongs to the entire company, not just operations. We want to make sure that our monitoring data is available to everyone who has a stake in application performance, from the developers to the CIO.”

AppDynamics for PHP will support common frameworks like Drupal, Wordpress, Zend and Symfony, with additional framework support following in the near future.

The world is now all about end-users. This paradigm of focusing on the end-user was simply not true a few years ago, as backend metrics generally revolved around uptime, SLAs, latency, and the like.

But let's be blunt: Unless there was an egregious fire, the correlated metrics were super loose or entirely false ...
