Seamless Application and Infrastructure Monitoring With SolarWinds AppOptics

SolarWinds® AppOptics™ is a powerful, SaaS-based infrastructure and application monitoring solution for custom on-premises, cloud, and hybrid systems. By enabling quick identification of performance problems across the stack, AppOptics helps reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR). It can pinpoint performance issues quickly, and removes the guesswork from troubleshooting by monitoring all the way down to the line of code.  Regardless of your experience level as an IT professional, AppOptics can help you monitor and improve the health of your IT implementations.

Video: Identifying Memory Bloat

In this video, we are going to take a look at what memory bloat is, and how you can use Scout to eliminate it from your applications. Memory related performance issues have the potential to bring your entire application down, and yet, most APMs completely ignore this fact and fail to provide any useful way of monitoring memory usage at all.

6 Tips for Application Developers to Make Java Applications Faster

Application developers and application operations personnel are together responsible for ensuring that Java web applications perform well. In an earlier blog, we had discussed 7 configurations that Application Operations teams can use to make their Java applications high-performing. In this blog, we will focus on Application Developers and discuss 6 ways in which they can enhance the performance of their Java applications.

A Deep Dive into SignalFx Microservices APM Alerts

The promise of NoSample™ full-fidelity distributed tracing with unlimited cardinality exploration is that no application performance degradation will be sampled away. This ensures that executions, which exemplify problems related to latency and/or errors will be retained for further inspection and analysis. Additional value can be extracted from trace data by determining when such investigations should occur, in other words, by identifying spikes and anomalies in endpoint latency or error rate.

SolarWinds Updates APM Suite Designed to Simplify Application and Infrastructure Management

Introduces new service map and web transaction recorder, enhanced custom parsing rules, and search user experience to further reduce application performance management complexity and speed up troubleshooting.

AppDynamics Micro Demo: Deep Code Insights

This demo shows how DCI enhances AppDynamics visibility to further reduce the time between issue identification and issue resolution. By extending AppDynamics’ existing code-level diagnostics, DCI provides a real-time, “read-only” view of the application so that you can collect critical debugging data to diagnose complex code issues without having to reproduce issues in development or test.

Application Performance Monitoring With SolarWinds AppOptics

AppOptics provides real-time visibility into any application by collecting both high-fidelity metrics and detailed transaction traces. Follow requests across processes, hosts, and data center with the distributed tracing functionality—no manual instrumentation required Quickly jump from visualizing trends to deep, code-level root cause analysis, and easily monitor applications across many different programming languages including: .NET, Java, Scala, Python, and PHP.

7 Configurations to Enhance the Performance of Your Java Web Applications

There has been a lingering perception that Java applications are slower than applications written in other languages. So, if performance is important for your application, you should not be considering Java as the programming language to use. This perception was true about 20 years ago, when Java was initially used for developing applications. In the early Java implementations, it took a long time for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to start.
