APM (Distributed Tracing)
Overview
In distributed systems:
- A single failure can be hidden deep in a service chain
- Logs may not capture full context
- Manual correlation is error-prone and slow
To address this problem the concept of Application Performance Monitoring (APM) was created. It is the practice of observing, measuring, and analyzing application behavior. Kloudfuse APM focuses on distributed tracing, a key technique for monitoring modern microservices-based systems.
Distributed tracing makes these relationships explicit—letting you see the big picture, then drill into details.
Kloudfuse APM lets you:
- View trace timelines and identify latency hotspots
- Correlate traces with metrics, logs, and deployments
- Monitor service-level indicators (SLIs)
- Set alerts for errors, latency, or throughput drops
- Debug live requests with deep context
Additional benefits Kloudfuse also provides:
- Auto-instrumentation for popular languages
- Lightweight agents for cloud-native environments
- Seamless integrations with Kubernetes, AWS, and more
