Application Performance Monitoring for Open Source S/Ws.

SCOUTER is an open source APM like new relic and appdynamics. (APM means application performance monitoring or application performance management.)

• Monitoring targets (from scouter agent)

  • Java Agent : Web application (on Tomcat, JBoss, Resin ...), Standalone java application
  • Host Agent : Linux, Windows, Unix

• Monitoring targets (from Telegraf support) Since @2.0.0

  • Redis, nginX, apache httpd, haproxy, Kafka, MySQL, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, ElasticSearch, Kube, Mesos ...

• Monitoring targets (from Zipkin-Scouter storage) Since @2.5.0

  • Any zipkin instrumentations(C#, Go, Python, Javascript, PHP...) can be shown in a XLog(Scatter) chart.
  • see the zipkin-scouter-storage documentation.
  • see the zipkin instrumentations.

Users use application services on a system and the services use resources on the system. You should understand this context in order to manage the system performance efficiently. SCOUTER can help you.

• SCOUTER shows
  • Metrics about users : Active user, Recently used user, Today visitor
  • Metrics about services : Active service, TPS, Response time, Application profiles(method profile, sql profile, external call profile...)
  • Metrics about resources : Cpu, Memory, Network and Heap usage, Connection pools etc.
