vendors expand their
coverage
Configuration tracking

• Performance issues caused by server/device/application
misconfiguration
• Misconfigurations have huge negative impact on performance
• Configuration errors are major cause of incidents resulting in
downtime/outages
• Configuration change management is a mandatory requirement
for regulatory compliance

Observability challenges of silos
© eG Innovations, Inc. | www.eginnovations.com
Configuration & Change
Tracking is important
for silos
• Was a new update applied to the
application?
• Did any configuration of the application
change?
• Has the application workload changed?
• Is there a security attack going on?
• Has the network performance change?
• Did the database become slower?
• Did we hit a capacity limit in the cloud
instance?
Analysis of an abnormal
application performance
© eG Innovations, Inc. | www.eginnovations.com
• On one Monday morning, an IT service owner in
a US organizationreceived a proactive alert
• Their application servers were unusually busy.
• CPU utilization had increased.
• Many of their business-critical application
servers exhibited the issue
• This had to be attended to immediately.
• The servers were running a heterogeneous mix
of Javaapplication servers.
