Gaining Insights of your Microservices with Elastic APM - Jenny Morris & Stephen Brown, Elastic
Gaining Insights of your Microservices with Elastic APM - Jenny Morris & Stephen Brown, Elastic
In this talk, we will introduce the first major open-source APM, Elastic APM, and discuss its capabilities of end-to-end monitoring: Real User Monitoring, Application-level monitoring, Cloud Foundry platform monitoring and other logging/metrics. An application composed of interconnected, autonomous microservices will be used to demonstrate latency tracking, root cause analysis and anomaly detection.
While traditional APM tools let you monitor the application performance metrics of their microservices running in Cloud Foundry, Elastic APM allows you to cross reference and correlate the platform logs and metrics to get a holistic view of your systems or business. This consolidated view of your systems lets you spot, debug and fix issues quicker.
