Infrastructure and Application Performance Monitoring (APM)
Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds AppOptics
We use AppOptics for our application monitoring across the whole infrastructure. AppOptics provides a very deep-dive and point to point metrics and alerts for the various microservices which help to track and identify various issues which may/could cause the instability in our application flow. So if I need to check my latency stats from one microservice to another, and if latency rate is higher than usual, we can easily trace the number of facts with the help of AppOptics like:
1) Current response code from the API.
2) Number of DB connections.
3) Queries requested from app to DB.
4) Queries that track latency.
5) Failing APIs.
- Easy to integrate with an application stack. Supports many. In my case, I just need the AppOptics client and client key to start integration with my application stack.
- Provide real-time metrics like DB connection, query analysis, latency in API calls and other connections, response codes for various API's, etc.
- We can also set thresholds based on use-cases and set up the alerts and publish one across various suitable channels.
- It would be good if could get some sort of dynamic report generation functionality base on historical trends. The rest is good.
- Application monitoring troubleshooting became more accurate. Accurate results save more man-hours of manual troubleshooting.
- As Realtime monitoring and alerts provide more flexibility, downtime can be minimized and Accurate Root causes can be provided.
- Dashboards can be useful for making future strategy based on trends.
- Installation and integration is easy.
What we found positive in AppOptics from others is:
- Easy to install and manage.
- Various stack support.
- Point to point deep-dive metrics and correlation.
- Metrics like DB connection, query analysis, latency in API calls, and other connections, response codes for various APIs, etc are the key ones in our case, which AppOptics provides efficiently.
- Alerts can be sent on different channels.
