Velocity Presentation - Unified Monitoring with AppDynamicsAppDynamics
The document discusses the challenges of modern application monitoring and proposes a unified monitoring approach using AppDynamics. It notes that current monitoring tools often live in silos, lack context, and make it difficult to pinpoint the root cause of issues. A unified monitoring solution like AppDynamics breaks down these silos by providing a single view across infrastructure, applications and end users with situation-aware data and views. It aims to move organizations from reactive monitoring to more proactive approaches through intelligent anomaly detection, automatic runbook automation, and leveraging analytics to better understand patterns and trends.

Automation: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly with DevOpsGuys - AppD Summit EuropeAppDynamics
A cornerstone of the DevOps philosophy, investment in automation at all stages across the SDLC has increased over recent years. Automation promises velocity and reduced errors, helps foster repeatable processes, and removes the need for long hours on dull, repetitive tasks. So what’s not to like? The downside of automation is that unless applied at the right place in your SDLC it can make a bad process worse. Automation also raises questions around job security, the need for re-skilling in other areas, and tool sprawl if different teams each choose their preferred technology. This session will outline:
-A short chronology of where automation has impacted the modern software stack
-Where it makes the most sense to automate (by identifying your key constraints)
-Best practices for adopting automation and how to identify where it’s working — and where it isn’t

2. Everything is a Thread
• No Matter What the Platform everything is about
THREAD
• Java Threads
• CLR Threads
• PHP Threads
• NodeJS Threads – Single Thread
• Python Thread – Single Thread (I think)
3. Top Ten Problems
• Full disclosure, this list is not scientific, it’s just based
upon experience dealing with customers trying to solve
application issues.
4. Configuration
• The wrong Thread Pool or Connection Pool Settings.
• Not providing enough threads to match large load can c
ause serious blocking issues and create bottlenecks.
5. Memory Management
• Improper Memory Configuration for the Code Size and T
ransaction Volume.
• Improper memory settings can cause excessive garbage
collection and REMEMBER, in Java, a “Full Garbage Co
llection” means ALL THREADS STOP.
6. Web Services –
• SOAP based web services have more overall overhead
when compared to REST based web services.
• Did you know know that a simple SOAP web service call
that returns a temperature or a zip code requires 1 or 2K
B of packaging data? Like shipping a watch in a big box f
ull of foam peanuts. Unnecessary overhead.
8. Application Code
• Poorly written code. Make ALL of your developers read C
ode Complete by Steve McConnell and Implement Unit T
esting. Both can great improve the quality of their code.
9. Input/Output Bottlenecks
• Storage and network bottlenecks – Ensure your disks
are configured for sufficient IO.
• You need to make sure you have sufficient I/O
configurations, especially in virtual machine and complex
environments.
10. Logging In DEBUG mode
• After your major load test, did you leave your logging
solution in DEBUG mode?
• This can create a huge bottleneck that correlates directly
with load.
• However, this problem is pretty sneaky and you won’t
discover this issues unless you run a major load test.
11. Request Overload
• We have too many inbound requests coming in and not
enough resources to handle the load —
simply a bandwidth issue.
12. Database
• It’s probably not the database.
• Oracle DBA’s typically run a fast databases. SQL Server
implementations are typically less tuned for performance
.
13. Database
• It’s probably the database,
• Bad index or just a bad query. Could also be a developer
writing a query inside a query. (See Above)
14. Database
• It’s probably the database,
• Bad index or just a bad query. Could also be a developer
writing a query inside a query. (See Above)
