I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the basic principles of APM, and a simple methodology that can be applied to any monitoring initiative or strategic discussion about application performance. Since the nomenclature used within this space is still very fluid, the need for highlighting some basic methods of operations for the casual user is in order.
We have successfully built a Simple APM Methodology consisting of four elements: Top-down monitoring (real-time application monitoring), Bottom-up monitoring (Infrastructure monitoring), Reporting & Analytics, and ITSM Processes.
Within this methodology each element goes deep as a broad category, and each category encompasses specific monitoring tools that support the end-user-experience (EUE).
