AppDynamics Essentials: Mastering Application Performance Monitoring

Uplatz provides this comprehensive course on AppDynamics. It is a self-paced course with pre-recorded video tutorials. You will be awarded Course Completion Certificate at the end of the course.

AppDynamics is an application performance monitoring (APM) and IT operations analytics platform that helps organizations monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize the performance of their applications and IT infrastructure in real-time. It provides visibility into the performance of applications, user experience, and business transactions, allowing organizations to proactively identify and resolve performance issues before they impact end-users.

Key features of AppDynamics include:

1. Application Performance Monitoring (APM): AppDynamics offers deep visibility into the performance of applications running in complex, distributed environments. It monitors various metrics such as response time, throughput, error rate, and resource consumption to identify performance bottlenecks and optimize application performance.

2. End-User Monitoring (EUM): AppDynamics provides insights into user interactions with web and mobile applications, including page load times, user session data, and client-side errors. It helps organizations understand the end-user experience and identify opportunities for improvement.

3. Business Transaction Monitoring: AppDynamics allows organizations to monitor critical business transactions and workflows within applications. It tracks transaction performance, identifies transaction dependencies, and correlates performance issues with business impact, enabling organizations to prioritize and troubleshoot issues effectively.

4. Infrastructure Monitoring: AppDynamics offers infrastructure monitoring capabilities to monitor the health and performance of servers, virtual machines, containers, and cloud resources. It provides insights into infrastructure utilization, capacity planning, and resource allocation to optimize infrastructure performance and resource utilization.

5. Distributed Tracing: AppDynamics enables distributed tracing across microservices architectures, allowing organizations to trace requests as they traverse multiple services and components. It provides end-to-end visibility into transaction flows, dependencies, and performance metrics across distributed environments.

6. AI-Powered Insights: AppDynamics leverages machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze performance data, detect anomalies, and provide predictive insights. It helps organizations identify performance trends, predict future issues, and automate root cause analysis to accelerate problem resolution.

7. Integration and Automation: AppDynamics integrates with a wide range of third-party tools and platforms, including CI/CD pipelines, ITSM systems, cloud platforms, and monitoring tools. It offers APIs and automation capabilities to streamline workflows, automate remediation actions, and facilitate collaboration across teams.

8. Dashboards and Reporting: AppDynamics provides customizable dashboards, reports, and analytics to visualize performance data, track key metrics, and monitor KPIs. It offers real-time and historical insights into application and infrastructure performance to support decision-making and optimization efforts.

AppDynamics is a comprehensive APM and IT operations analytics platform that helps organizations monitor, optimize, and ensure the performance and reliability of their applications and IT infrastructure in today's complex and dynamic digital environments.
