Installation is pretty straightforward, and can be found on the " install and run " page of the documentation, or you can simply click on the "K" logo in your Kibana to get to the Kibana home screen, where you will see an option to "Add APM":. There's really no better way to learn something new than jumping in and getting your hands dirty, and we have several different ways at our disposal.
If you want to see the interface, live and in person, you can click around in our APM demo environment. If you'd rather run things locally, you can follow the steps on our APM Server download page. The best part is that we maintain your deployment infrastructure for you. To create your cluster with APM or add APM to an existing cluster , you simply scroll down to the APM configuration section on your cluster, click on "Enable", and then either "Save changes" when updating an existing deployment , or "Create deployment" when creating a new deployment.
The integrations we referenced earlier alerting and machine learning tie to the underlying license for the base feature, so Gold for alerting, and Platinum for machine learning. APM lets us see what is going on with our applications, at all tiers.
With integrations to machine learning and alerting, combined with the power of search, Elastic APM adds a whole other layer of visibility into your application infrastructure. We can use it to visualize transactions, traces, errors, and exceptions, all from the context of a curated APM user interface. Even when we aren't having issues, we can leverage the data from Elastic APM to help prioritize fixes, to get the best performance out of our applications, and fight bottlenecks.
If you want to find out more about Elastic APM and observability, check out a few of our past webinars:. Try it out today! Work for a global, distributed team where finding someone like you is just a Zoom meeting away.
Flexible work with impact? Development opportunities from the start? By Jamie Smith. Logs, APM, and Infrastructure Metrics make up the observability trifecta : There is overlap in these areas — just enough to help correlate across each of them. Logs First, let's dig into some definitions. For example, a common log format comes from the Apache HTTP server project fake, and trimmed for length : Adding APM to your monitoring lets you: Understand what your service is spending its time on, and why it crashes.
See how services interact with each other and visualize bottlenecks Proactively discover and fix performance bottlenecks and errors Hopefully, before too many of your customers are impacted Increase productivity of the development team Track the end-user experience in the browser One key thing to note is that APM speaks code we'll see more on that in a bit. Let's take a look at how APM compares to what we get from logs.
We had this log entry: We also had an error in the above logs: As we drill down to an exception, using the NumberParseException as an example, we are greeted with a visualization of the distribution of the number of times that error has occurred in the window: We can immediately see that it happens a few times per period, but pretty much all day.
We could likely find the corresponding stack trace in one of the log files, but odds are that it wouldn't have the context and metadata that is available when using APM: The red rectangle shows the line of code that caused the exception, and the metadata provided by APM shows me exactly what the problem is. Each of the services will have a similar layout: The top left gives me response times — Average, 95th, and 99th percentiles, to show me where my outliers are.
Drilling into Transaction Response Times Continuing our tour of the transaction summary, we get to the bottom, the request breakdown. Dropping down into the details of that transaction, we see the same layout we saw earlier: Operation Waterfall But even the slowest requests are still less than a second.
With APM, I have the ability to see the actual queries being executed: Distributed Tracing We are dealing with a multi-tiered microservice architecture in this application stack. Since we have all of the tiers instrumented with Elastic APM, we can zoom out a bit by hitting that "View full trace" button to see everything involved in this call, showing a distributed trace of all the components which took part in the transaction: Layers of Traces In this case, the layer we started at, the Spring layer, is a service that the other layers call.
That's just two layers, but we can see many more, in this example we have a request that started from the browser React layer: Real User Monitoring To get the most value out of distributed tracing it is important to instrument as many of your components and services as you can, including leveraging Real User Monitoring or RUM.
Installation is pretty straightforward, and can be found on the " install and run " page of the documentation, or you can simply click on the "K" logo in your Kibana to get to the Kibana home screen, where you will see an option to "Add APM": Which then walks you through getting an APM Server up and running: Once you get that up and running, Kibana has tutorials for each agent type built right in: You can be up and running with only a few lines of code.
Multiple web modules can be configured to run on a Tomcat server. It is important to track the workload and processing efficiency measures described above for each web module. This way, when the Tomcat server is seeing a high request rate, or is processing requests slowly, administrators can see if the issue is specific to a web module or whether it is affecting all web modules. Understanding this can aid administrators to quickly troubleshoot and fix Tomcat performance issues.
Licensed by number of operating systems, not by JVMs, eG Enterprise is one of the most cost-efficient application performance monitoring solutions in the industry. The structure of a web module is shown above to the right. Web modules are stored in web application archive WAR files, which are standard Java archive files. The core application logic is implemented in the JSP pages and servlet files on the server-side. When a web module is seeing a lot of requests, or its processing time is high, an immediate question is whether the increased traffic or slower processing is attributable to one or more servlets being processed.
Monitoring tools for Tomcat provide insights into the requests handled by each and every servlet and the processing time of each servlet. Comparing the processing time across servlets, administrators can determine the areas of the web application that need to be optimized. Knowing that a particular servlet is taking time is useful, but an immediate next question is, "Why is the servlet taking time to execute?
They would also like to know if the slowness is in Java processing e. Getting to this level of detail requires deep dive into the application code.
This is where business transaction tracing comes in. This is a common approach used by Java application monitoring tools, wherein the instrumentation API of modern JVMs is used to add byte-code instrumentation that captures all method calls in Java and external calls from the JVM. This capability provides administrators with the insights they need to discover and troubleshoot Java application slowness issues. JVM performance metrics can be used to troubleshoot server-side bottlenecks and answer the following questions:.
Monitoring web modules and servlets as indicated above indicates bottlenecks in processing web requests. Many times, applications perform processing asynchronously, in the background. What if one or more of these background jobs causes bottlenecks in the JVM? Monitoring threads in the JVM, detecting synchronization issues and deadlocks in the JVM, and alerting regarding times when garbage collection is taking too much time, affecting processing of user requests by Tomcat, are also important.
It is essential to have a proactive monitoring tool in place to monitor all of the above seven key areas of Tomcat performance. Administrators can use these metrics to learn about Tomcat configuration issues and bottlenecks. Development teams can also benefit from the insights provided by these monitoring tools.
They can identify which line of application code or which database query is causing application slowness. From a single pane of glass, administrators can see the performance of the Tomcat server, the underlying JVM, the server operating system, as well as the virtual or containerized environment in which Tomcat is running.
