  • ExaVault Locks Application Problems Away with Instana Automated Application Performance Management

    Leading File Management Solution Chooses Instana APM to Help Provide an Optimized User Experience

    March 10, 2020 – Chicago, IL and Oakland, CA – Instana, the leading provider of automated Application Performance Management (APM) solutions for microservice applications, today announced that Managed File Transfer leader ExaVault has selected and deployed Instana to manage their mission critical applications.

    More than simply a file storage system, ExaVault delivers a high availability file management and delivery system. ExaVault serves over 35,000 requests per minute – or more than 50 million calls every day. A great number of those are automated or ‘batch’ file transfers, making the nature of the data and the functionality makes ExaVault mission critical to clients.

    That means that ExaVault needs to manage not only the aggregate performance of all the entirety of their application, but also need to be able to see into individual tenants’ applications – no two of which are the same. In fact, many of the application issues that occur in production are only impacting a single customer.

    “With every customer doing something different on  ExaVault, we needed a monitoring solution that had the ability to detect application services on its own while also handling the high volume of traffic and requests our clients generate,” said David Ordal, CEO at ExaVault. “Instana’s automated discovery and mapping, coupled with its ability to capture every request and detect changes in real time made it the perfect solution for ExaVault.”

    Unlike other APM solutions, Instana fully automates the entire lifecycle of application monitoring including application discovery and mapping, monitoring sensor and agent deployment, and application infrastructure health monitoring. Whenever an application or infrastructure change occurs within dynamic applications, Instana recognizes the change in real time, instantly adjusting its application service maps, monitoring thresholds and health dashboards.

    “Applications become more complex as service providers deliver the right combination of out-of-the-box functionality with client-driven customization,” said Chris Farrell, Technical Director and APM Strategist at Instana. “Instana’s ability to automatically build tag-defined views, called Application Perspectives, enables individual developers and operations teams to drill into the applications for a specific tenant on the fly.”

    After implementing Instana in their production environment, ExaVault got both overall observability and the client-by-client visibility they desired. They increased their overall availability from 99.51% to 99.99%, a direct result of Instana identifying hotspots and bugs that were previously unknown to the operations or development teams.

    Looking ahead, ExaVault plans to expand across the application lifecycle. For instance, Instana already provides immediate feedback whenever an update is deployed – indicating whether an update has a positive, negative or neutral impact.

  • Instana Changes Performance Monitoring Again with SmartAlerts™ – the First Curated Alerting System That Includes Systematic Context

    Company Extends Automatic Application Performance Monitoring Into Complex Alert Systems

     

    February 26, 2020 – Chicago, IL and Solingen, Germany – Instana is changing the way that DevOps and IT Operations setup, manage and execute alerting with Instana SmartAlerts™, the first system that automates management of IT Alerts based on environmental and situational use cases. Included with the company’s automated Application Performance Management solution for Microservice Applications, Instana SmartAlerts uses curated building blocks, called BluePrints, to automate the configuration of alert thresholds and actions.

    “The complexity associated with containerized and microservice applications don’t just create observability issues, they also impact the ability to effectively manage alerts ,” said Chris Farrell, Technical Director and APM Strategist at Instana. “Instana’s SmartAlerts provide pre-built configuration modules, called BluePrints, that inject context into alerting and curate critical alerting rules based on technological, process and operational situations.”

    SmartAlerts BluePrints contain pre-built metric selection and threshold information, as well as curated analysis of what constitutes an alertable situation. Available as part of Instana’s APM solution, SmartAlerts comes with out-of-the-box BluePrints for typical IT and DevOps situations such as identifying slow services or websites. The only thing for the user to configure is the scope of where to apply those checks, like a URL or Service name.

    “It’s important to provide the best possible experience for customers using critical applications such as eCommerce,” said Janek Wonner, DevOps Engineer at Conrad. “Instana’s SmartAlerts brings the automation and ease of use we’ve come to expect from their application monitoring into our alerting system, helping us efficiently deliver higher application performance and customer satisfaction.”

    Unlike other APM solutions, Instana fully automates the entire lifecycle of application monitoring including application discovery and mapping, monitoring sensor and agent deployment, and application infrastructure health monitoring. Whenever an application or infrastructure change occurs within dynamic applications, Instana recognizes the change in real time, instantly adjusting its application service maps, monitoring thresholds and health dashboards.

    The SmartAlerts system builds on Instana’s tenets of automation, ease of use and minimal configuration by humans. Out-of-the-box BluePrints provide fully specified alerting systems for the most desirable alerting use cases, such as website issues – with minimal required configuration. Users can create new alerts directly from dashboards using the Unbounded Analytics filtering engine and the new SmartAlerts Wizard which includes any existing SmartAlerts BluePrints.

  • Instana Rolls Up 3 Acquisitions to Extend APM Reach

    Instana Rolls Up 3 Acquisitions to Extend APM Reach

    Instana revealed today it has acquired three technologies that will extend the capabilities of an application performance management (APM) platform optimized for microservices-based applications.

    Capabilities being added to the Instana platform include StackImpact, a polyglot production application profiler developed by StackImpact GmbH that can be applied to applications built in multiple languages; a high-frequency metrics analysis tool developed by BeeInstant; and a tool for analyzing complex system signals developed by JINSPIRED B.V.

    Instana has acquired StackImpact and BeeInstant outright and acquired only the software JINSPIRED B.V developed.

    Instana APM

    Instana CEO Mirko Novakovic said that as organizations embrace microservices typically built using containers that get deployed on Kubernetes clusters, IT organizations are discovering their existing APM platforms are not able to monitor and observe microservices-based applications to the level of depth required.

    The Instana APM platform achieves that goal by automatically deploying monitoring sensors for each part of the application technology stack. Those sensors trace all application requests without requiring any configuration or application restarts. Instana also detects changes in the application environment that allow it to adjust models and visualizations in real-time.

    As IT organizations embrace the Instana APM platform to manage microservices-based applications, Novakovic said they discover they can employ Instana also to monitor legacy monolithic applications, enabling them to standardize on one APM platform. Instana currently claims more than 300 customers, most of which are using its APM to monitor multiple types of application workloads, he said.

    In general, Novakovic said it’s becoming easier for organizations to swap out APM platforms because the proprietary agents that many legacy APM platforms rely on are being replaced by open source initiatives that make it possible to gather metrics from multiple platforms. In fact, as APM platforms continue to evolve, Novakovic said it’s apparent that tools for tracing, tracking metrics and log analytics are all starting to converge.

    Of course, the biggest challenge Instana and other providers of APM platforms face today is that many developers are relying on open source Prometheus software developed under the auspices of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Instana and other APM platform providers are making a case instead for commercial platforms that provide richer visualizations and are easier to employ than Prometheus.

    It’s still too early to say how the APM platform wars might play out. However, all the dependencies between microservices make APM platforms a requirement today. Historically, many IT organizations have opted to make use of APM platforms only for their most mission-critical monolithic applications because of the costs involved. Many organizations going forward are likely to try to strike a balance between APM costs and the need to monitor application services more broadly.

    Naturally, different DevOps teams within an organization may wind up preferring to employ different APM platforms. However, the pressure to standardize on a single APM platform to contain costs will only increase over time.
