Single bill for infrastructure and application monitoring
IBM® Instana® Observability delivers AI-powered automated monitoring, alerting and remediation capabilities for real-time visibility into your distributed infrastructure components. Instana provides automatic correlation of all performance and health, event and configuration information, enabling full-stack accuracy and helping DevOps keep systems running with maximum reliability. With no configuration or coding required, quickly pinpoint and address issues without the need to buy a separate license, unlike outdated infrastructure monitoring tools.
Key features
- Easily visualize every aspect of your application infrastructure with an overview of all monitored systems and the ability to get granular infrastructure observability for each component or service.
- Track incidents, events or changes in real time, as each block within a pillar (or pizza box stack) represents the software components running on that system. Any deviation in the performance of a component is reflected by a change in the color of that pillar.
- Quickly identify application components that are critical to application or service performance.
- Easily discern if new changes or deployments are improving or degrading performance by sorting metrics such as CPU usage or memory consumption and comparing these metrics over time.
- Get real-time observability into all interdependencies between your cloud, infrastructure and application components. Unlike traditional infrastructure monitoring tools, you get to know whenever changes occur so that you have accurate and current information.
- Immediately understand the upstream and downstream dependencies whenever an application or component has an issue.
