The Principles of APM
Top Down
Monitoring
This is also referred to as Real-time
Application Monitoring which is the
cornerstone that gives APM its tangible
value.
Creating synthetic transaction to measure
performance or modifying the application
stream for EUE observations.
Watches application traffic and does not
create transactions or manipulate the
application stream in any way.

Real-time Application Monitoring
Larry Dragich, Director EAS, The Auto Club Group – September 2013
Bottom Up
Monitoring
This is also referred to as Infrastructure
Monitoring which usually ties into an
operations manager tool.
The Manager of Managers (MoM) becomes
the central collection point where event
correlation happens.
System automation is the key component
to the timeliness and accuracy of incidents
being created.

Reporting
& Analytics
Capturing the raw data for analysis and
tracking the application workload is
essential for an APM strategy to be
successful.
When first starting out keep it simple: Alert on
the Averages (real-time) and Profile with
Percentiles (SLA post reporting).
It is important to arrive at a common set of
metrics and baseline the application workload
under “normal” conditions.

ITIL
Management
(Processes)
The ITSM / ITIL Processes are a
foundational pillar within the
Application Performance Management
Methodology.
This is a key component to the Event
Management process. This ties in with the
Automation Center.
APM supports the CSI model and ties
together specific processes in Service
Design, Service Transition, and Service
Operation.

A Simple APM Methodology

  • 1. A Simple APM Methodology Larry Dragich, September 2013
  • 2. End User Experience Top Down Monitoring Reporting & Analytics Bottom Up Monitoring ITIL Management (Processes) The Principles of APM
  • 3. Top Down Monitoring This is also referred to as Real-time Application Monitoring which is the cornerstone that gives APM its tangible value. Creating synthetic transaction to measure performance or modifying the application stream for EUE observations. Watches application traffic and does not create transactions or manipulate the application stream in any way.

  • 8. Bottom Up Monitoring This is also referred to as Infrastructure Monitoring which usually ties into an operations manager tool. The Manager of Managers (MoM) becomes the central collection point where event correlation happens. System automation is the key component to the timeliness and accuracy of incidents being created.

Data Center -------------------------- Operations Manager ----------------------------- SNMP Listener Real User Monitoring Routers / Switches UPS Devices PBX Switches Synthetic Probes Network Sniffers Web Robots Virtual Servers Encryption Devices WAN Optimization Firewalls Database Servers Bridge Connector Agent Protocols SNMP Traps SNMP Traps
  • 10. Reporting & Analytics Capturing the raw data for analysis and tracking the application workload is essential for an APM strategy to be successful. When first starting out keep it simple: Alert on the Averages (real-time) and Profile with Percentiles (SLA post reporting). It is important to arrive at a common set of metrics and baseline the application workload under “normal” conditions.
  • 11. Baseline Comparisons Real-time vs. Yesterday Real-time vs. 7 days ago Real-time vs. 10 day rolling average
  • 12. ITIL Management (Processes) The ITSM / ITIL Processes are a foundational pillar within the Application Performance Management Methodology. This is a key component to the Event Management process. This ties in with the Automation Center. APM supports the CSI model and ties together specific processes in Service Design, Service Transition, and Service Operation.
