What is application monitoring?
Application monitoring is the process of measuring application performance, availability, and user experience and using this data to identify and resolve application issues before they impact customers. The best way to approach application monitoring is through an observability solution. Which goes beyond traditional application monitoring to include logs, metrics, and traces. The most modern solutions include application security and business impact analysis for the most complete coverage.
Automatic monitoring of cloud-native workloads and microservices
Dynatrace automatically discovers and monitors dynamic microservice workloads running inside containers on Kubernetes, using OneAgent technology and open source solutions like OpenTelemetry. Understand modern cloud technologies, from serverless to message queues, and how they are performing, how they communicate with each other, and immediately detect poorly performing microservices.

The top five APM challenges
Charting an application performance monitoring roadmap
As digital transformation accelerates and IT environments become increasingly complex, organizations need reliable, real-time visibility across their technology stacks. That’s where application performance monitoring and end-to-end observability can help.
Application performance monitoring (APM) is the process of tracking and collecting key software metrics to pinpoint potential problems and identify opportunities for improvement. But it isn’t a cure-all for everything that ails enterprises. To deliver on its potential, organizations need to recognize key challenges, understand their impact, and implement strategies that help to unlock the power of APM.
