Abstract
CA Application Performance Management (CA APM) features the industry’s simplest approach to
getting app monitoring up and running. The first-ever zero-configuration agent simplifies
monitoring by detecting app environments and deploying the best and most current agent
without manual interaction. Learn how this new approach to agent installation makes
monitoring hybrid and cloud environments easier than ever.
