8. Application Monitoring Challenges
•On-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments?
•Visibility, control, and access vary widely
•Application infrastructure dependencies (server, VM, storage, database)
•Advanced troubleshooting requires a correlation of infrastructure metrics
•Getting a view of real-time and historic network and systems metrics gets everyone on the same page
•Multi-cloud use is common and on the rise; a unified view is needed
•Virtualized environments are complex, dynamic, and require special tools or skills
•Migrating applications to the cloud requires scenario planning and capacity forecasting
•Monitoring performance impacts and reporting are critical
