Instana, the leading provider of real-time application
performance management (APM) solutions for cloud-native microservice
applications, today announced an extension of the company’s one-click
integration with Log Analysis tools to now support LogDNA.
The Instana / LogDNA integration provides a seamless experience for Dev and Ops
teams when troubleshooting microservices and cloud native applications. When
application problems occur, Instana automatically isolates the service in
trouble, as well as the triggering event and problematic application code,
microservice or infrastructure platform causing the problem.
“While applications continue to grow in complexity, individual infrastructure
platforms and microservices are also their own complex ecosystems,” said Chris
Farrell, Technical Director and APM
Strategist at Instana. “The integrated solution of Instana and LogDNA provides
the full range of monitoring, tracing and log analysis that enables any
application stakeholder to identify, isolate and fix application problems
before service levels are impacted.”
Instana’s integration with LogDNA is the latest one-click navigation from the
automated APM solution into a log analysis tool, handled via buttons in the
Instana GUI on key component dashboards (such as Servers, Containers and
Kubernetes). When the button is clicked, Instana starts up an instance of the
log analysis tool, along with a pre-executed analysis filter into the exact
logs of the application components and associated infrastructure needing
examination. Timing is synchronized, meaning users won’t have to search for the
specific log or timeframe needed to solve problems.
Unlike traditional APM tools, Instana’s automated Application Performance
Monitoring (APM) solution discovers all application service components and
application infrastructure, including Cloud infrastructure such as Azure,
orchestration infrastructure like Kubernetes and Docker, application services
and DevOps processes. Instana automatically deploys monitoring sensors for each
part of the application technology stack and traces all application requests –
without requiring any human configuration or even application restarts. The
solution detects application and infrastructure changes in real-time, adjusting
its own models and visualizing the changes and impacts to performance in
seconds.
The integration with LogDNA and other log analysis tools is available today in
all Instana APM solutions.
