13. APM Command Center
Central hub to perform Agent configuration
WHY YOU CARE
Obtain Agent Config Info Much Faster!
 Managing Introscope Agents is currently a manual, decentralized and
error-prone process… There is no guided UI/workflow
 Getting access to the Agent log files sometimes takes several hours
 Central repository (across clusters) of all agent configurations and
meta-data…
 Get an inventory of all Agents across APM clusters
 Generate diagnostic reports to diagnose Agent configuration problems
0.5 Release (December)
 Debug Remotely
 1st Ever All-Encompassing Agent Visibility Across Entire
Environment: Every agent, across all clusters, in a single view!
EASY.
1.0 Release (Spring)
 Easily manage/support thousands of agents
PAIN
SOLUTION

14. 3600 Mobile-to-Mainframe Insight
 Tight integration of Mobile App Analytics (MAA) to provide end-to-
end business transaction monitoring from mobile-through-
middleware-to-mainframe
 MAA Business Transaction Names and Meta-Data info now in the
APM AppMap, Investigator, and Transaction Traces
SOLUTION
Mobile APM
Drive More Revenue through Innovative Mobile Apps that Inspire Users
 Explosion of mobile apps… no way to monitor mobile transactions or
analytics and integrate them with backend application infrastructure
 Lack of insight into mobile user behavior, location, operating system,
carrier, network, mainframe, and DB
PAIN
WHY YOU CARE
 ACCELERATE MOBILE APP DELIVERY: Build and monitor performance of mobile apps
 DELIVER QUALITY AND A FANTASTIC USER EXPERIENCE: Know the mobile user experience
 DRIVE REVENUE: Stimulate collaboration between dev and ops teams around performance to accelerate mobile app delivery
 EASY TO START: Mobile end-user experience w/o deep instrumentation: less time to start/easier to deploy
PROACTIVE. COLLABORATIVE.

15.  Automatically collect transaction traces when a problem occurs—
no need to re-create the issue
 Stall Snapshots shows actionable info
 Trigger traces based upon customized criteria, errors and stalls
SOLUTION
Smart Instrumentation
Proactive, Automatic Evidence Collection
 App triage often requires in-depth knowledge of the application
or the need to modify instrumentation
 Manual effort to get deep call stack visibility into app performance
 Instrumentation level change requires agent restart
PAIN
WHY YOU CARE
 NEVER RESTART YOUR APP: Just to change instrumentation
 RAPID TRIAGE DOESN’T REQUIRE IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE:
of app or instrumentation modification
 GET UP AND RUNNING QUICKLY
PROACTIVE. INTELLIGENCE.
V1 Syndrome Stops!
This builds on 9.6 Deep Transaction Tracing

Automatic Transaction Tracing

16. WHY YOU CARE
 Enables better communication between specialists to resolve problems faster
 One-Click away to link into the alert and/or metric triggering the problem
 Context to understand alert more completely, explains actions you could take, and provides links to whatever is most relevant
EASY. COLLABORATIVE.
One-Click Role-Relevant Notification
Enhanced Email Notification
 APM notifications were difficult to understand
 Alerts lacked actionable context—no links, just plain text
 Need URL that allows one-click linking when the problem triggered
PAIN
 Email with rich content that explains urgency of a problem
 Alerts have actionable content
SOLUTION
Automatic Transaction Tracing

17.  Looks at the manifest of an application to be deployed and optionally
add APM monitoring agents to that application prior to it being
deployed…
 APM agentry installed—all hands off
SOLUTION
CA Release Automation Deploys APM Agents
APM Agents Installed… Hands-Off
 Time-consuming, detailed, process to configure and deploy APM
agents on to Applications
PAIN
WHY YOU CARE
 CA Release Automation, previously known as CA LISA® Release Automation, deploys the monitoring
components pre-configured to start monitoring as soon as the application starts
 Collect application and infrastructure performance metrics, diagnose and address problems at every stage of the
application lifecycle
COLLABORATIVE.

18. WHY YOU CARE
 End-to-end visibility of business transactions
 Real end user experience and defects in context of the transaction
 Top to bottom visibility across all infrastructure
COLLABORATIVE.
CA APM/CA Unified Infrastructure Management (UIM) Integration
Provides a unified view of the infrastructure and applications that impact Business Services
 Customers need deep DB performance metrics, not native to APM
 Lack of visibility into the performance of Infrastructure components
on which applications are running
 No visibility to the performance of commonly used thick-client
applications (non-java/non .net)
PAIN
 Add CA UIM, formerly known as CA Nimsoft Monitor, as an
“infrastructure” data source for APM where supporting infrastructure
metrics are needed for the big picture
SOLUTION
 Application health and synthetic response
 Quick triage to root cause— whether code,
network, or supporting infrastructure

19. WHY YOU CARE
 Receive warnings when the performance of PHP-based applications degrade
 Triage issues and find out poorly performing PHP method calls
MODERN SUPPORT.
 Lacking visibility to monitor performance of Tier2/3 applications
often running on PHP (monitor more than just .Net and Java)
PAIN
PHP Agent Support
Begin monitoring the 82% of all websites powered by
 Visibility to now monitor PHP-based applications in production
SOLUTION
PHP Running on a Web Server

Do I have sufficient visibility? Do I have too much?
We figure out what is available
We implement the change, with caution!
Plenty of metrics oversee what is going on
You decide how much of it to show

26. How you know there is a visibility problem?
 Survey transactions with Transaction Trace
– We are already doing this
– You can add an active session
 REALLY important when using CEM
