Instana
Product features
Single Agent deployment monitoring
The Instana Agent features a straightforward architecture. In traditional system environments, monitoring requires only the installation of a single agent. In containerized environments, deploying a single container is sufficient to monitor the entire Docker or Kubernetes ecosystem.
Proactive identification and detection system service
The proactive discovery and detection system service, Instana Agent, acts as a self-detecting robot. Once installed in the monitoring environment, it actively identifies and detects the entire system's status and immediately begins monitoring.
Comprehensive performance information
Instana collects performance data at a granularity of "seconds," providing a complete view of system performance changes and enabling precise identification of performance issues.
Application system performance tracking
Instana provides a complete record of application system operations. When an application system experiences an anomaly, detailed information about the system's operations at the time can be immediately retrieved to track performance issues and identify the root cause of the anomaly.
Summarize events to determine the root cause of issues.
Instana fully records the operational status of application systems. When an anomaly occurs, detailed real-time system operation information can be retrieved immediately, enabling performance issue tracking and root cause identification.
Display dynamic transaction flows of system services.
Instana proactively generates a system service dependency map for application systems and produces a clear visualization of system transaction flows, providing a transparent view of system operations.
Supports various system and application architectures.
Instana supports existing traditional system and application architectures, as well as Cloud, Microservices, and Container architectures.
Cross-platform programming language monitoring.
Instana automatically establishes application service correlations and can directly trace the operations of individual services within system transactions across different programming languages. All this information is consolidated and displayed in a single interface.
Main functions
Instana is a modern monitoring tool specifically designed for traditional IT architectures, N-Tier, Middleware, Cloud, Microservices, and Container-based application architectures. It automatically detects and identifies application programs and system architectures within the IT environment.
Instana proactively maps the detected application systems and environmental information into a topology diagram, providing a clear visualization of the entire system's operational status.
Instana can identify both traditional N-Tier and microservices application systems, providing comprehensive monitoring and recording of all application actions. It presents the operational performance of application systems through a graphical interface.
Instana collects data and processes it using built-in machine learning capabilities to consolidate and analyze the information. It provides real-time insights into application system operations. Upon detecting any anomalies, it proactively highlights abnormal information and can issue alert notifications to IT operations personnel about system irregularities. This enables IT teams to address issues before they escalate, ensuring stable and reliable application system services and maintaining service quality.
