Server Monitoring with AppOptics

Server Monitoring Made Easy With AppOptics

Monitor business-critical performance metrics of server, infrastructure, and application flawlessly for future IT implementations.

• Infrastructure Monitoring: AppOptics infrastructure capabilities help you monitor the health of critical systems such as CPU, memory, and disk utilization. It provides instant visibility into servers, hosts, containers, AWS and Azure services, and drills down into their specific resources to minimize mean time to resolution (MTTR). It also includes out-of-the-box integrations, intuitive dashboards, and metrics to reduce complexity.
• Application Performance Monitoring: AppOptics helps you visualize errors and troubleshoot bottlenecks. With its distributed transaction tracing, exception tracking, and live code profiling, AppOptics can quickly determine the end-to-end behavior of individual requests, identify application performance issues, and provide root-cause summaries to reduce troubleshooting time.

AppOptics and Pingdom: Faster and Better Together

The combined capabilities of AppOptics and Pingdom make server monitoring easier, faster, and more comprehensive. Pingdom monitors the application performance metrics based on the end-user experience, while AppOptics provides code-level visibility into server-side transactions. Together, these tools provide ultimate visibility and enhanced troubleshooting.

Enhanced Monitoring Capabilities: Both tools together provide enhanced monitoring of critical applications, infrastructures, and server resources. By combining server-side with client-side monitoring, teams can view server performance, identify bottlenecks, and detect unavailability issues through intuitive dashboards.

Reduced Troubleshooting Time: Both tools perform transaction monitoring to reduce troubleshooting time. AppOptics performs transaction tracing to break down the transaction path and check what part of it is consuming more time. With AppOptics traces, teams can also drill down to the code used in the service as a part of a transaction. Pingdom transaction testing, on the other hand, checks for success by simulating a transaction, like booking a hotel room.

Faster Resolution of Performance Issues: Both tools perform root cause analysis to reduce mean time to resolution. Pingdom runs additional tests to examine server response codes, while AppOptics provides root cause summaries for faster resolution of latency issues.

AppOptics and Pingdom: Enhanced Server Monitoring

• While Pingdom and AppOptics fulfill different monitoring needs, they serve a common goal. Pingdom provides in-depth information on the end-user experience, while AppOptics offers service and trace-level root-cause summaries to determine issues, measure resource usage, and track response times, requests, and errors. Together these tools can be used to boost teams’ efficiency in identifying and troubleshooting business-critical issues.
• Combined capabilities of both tools allow you to monitor client-side components and server-side transactions. Client-side components include the user’s device, browser, and platform from any geographic location, whereas server-side transactions include issues like server unavailability or page loading error. Together, these tools development and operational teams can use Pingdom and AppOptics to monitor, identify, and troubleshoot issues proactively.
