Abstract: You currently have SmartCloud APM. Now, it is time to empower and enhance APM with the power of SmartCloud Analytics - Predictive Insights and Log Analysis. We will be discussing an actual customer use case scenario involving WebSphere Application Server and MQ, understand how to integrate these components and how to use the integrated solution to make problem determination and root cause analysis significantly easier and faster. We will be doing a real-time demo as well to see the integrated solution in action.
