AppDynamics announced enhancements to its Unified Monitoring solution that broaden the scope of AppDynamics infrastructure monitoring and application language support, as part of the Winter ’16 Release,
AppDynamics is releasing an enhanced and updated version of Server Infrastructure Monitoring, giving enterprises a unique application-centric view of server performance to support rapid troubleshooting of poor end-user experience. The new release also moves C/C++ monitoring from beta to general availability, bringing the powerful capabilities of AppDynamics Application Performance Management to C/C++ applications.
The company also announced the availability of more than two dozen new extensions that expand AppDynamics’ monitoring capabilities to more application and infrastructure components, including many for Amazon Web Services.
Like all other components of the AppDynamics Application Intelligence Platform, Server Infrastructure Monitoring leverages business transaction context to provide insights with server dependency and metric views. This application-centric view enables enterprises to quickly drill down from the application flow map to identify and resolve server issues that impact user experience.
Server Infrastructure Monitoring is an integral component of AppDynamics Unified Monitoring, joining end-user, application, and database monitoring to provide a comprehensive, end-to-end view of the entire application ecosystem. Unified Monitoring breaks down the silos that occur when multiple performance management tools are used, and dramatically speeds up MTTR (mean time to resolution) to minimize the impact of issues on user experience.
“It is absolutely critical in today’s complex and highly distributed application environments to have a single, unified view of the performance of business transactions from the user to the application to the server infrastructure,” said Kalyan Ramanathan, VP of Product Marketing for AppDynamics. “An enterprise can’t be a successful digital business if its view of performance has to be pieced together from data generated by siloed tools. You just can’t see the transaction sequence holistically to understand exactly where problems are occurring. And you can’t react quickly enough to ensure user experience is protected.”
Server Infrastructure Monitoring provides comprehensive CPU, memory, disk, networking, and running processes metrics for Linux and Windows servers. With the new solution, customers can drill down to detailed server metrics directly from the end-to-end application flow map while troubleshooting application performance issues.
Available as an add-on to Server Monitoring, the Service Availability Monitoring pack delivers availability and basic performance metrics for HTTP services running on servers not monitored via an AppDynamics agent.
Also supporting the comprehensive capabilities of AppDynamics Unified Monitoring, C/C++ application monitoring becomes generally available with the Winter ’16 Release. With the monitoring capabilities provided by the C/C++ agent SDK, enterprises can leverage powerful AppDynamics monitoring capabilities to manage their C/C++ applications. Those capabilities include automatic discovery and mapping of all tiers that service and interact with the C/C++ applications, automatic dynamic baselining, data collectors, and health rules, as well as managing key metrics including application load and response times, and key system resources including CPU, memory, and disk I/O.
As with AppDynamics’ support for other essential application languages, C/C++ monitoring gives IT operations an end-to-end view of business transactions, from user to database, and enables drill down from the application flow map to support rapid root cause identification and resolution.
Concurrently with the Winter ’16 Release, AppDynamics also announced the release of 25 new extensions, including 19 for monitoring Amazon Web Services (AWS) components. The AppDynamics Exchange now offers nearly 150 extensions to extend monitoring coverage for specific application and infrastructure components.
