3 History of APM Tools: What happened so far? IT Department

4 Status quo: Situation has changed Data consumers Development Operations Business Multi-tier architecture Users throughout organization Tool diversification 4

5 Multi-Vendor, Multi-Tool Development Operations Business APM Data exchange (cross-tool) Data aggregation Data enrichment (cross-domain) Big data analytics Business-specific APM Tools Tools Tools 5

6 Disruption in the APM tool market * Agent - Tool A Tool A Tool B Tool X Agent - Tool A * * * Tool A Tool B Tool X Agent - Tool B Agent - Tool B * * data mapping + conversion Tool A Universal Agent Tool A Tool B Universal Agent Tool B Tool X data mapping Tool X Universal Agent + conversion Universal Agent Unified specification 6

7 What if? Shift focus from collection to usage Usage Data Collection Data Collection Data Collection Today Future Commercial tools provide proprietary data Data of different tools hard to exchange Data of different tools hard to be aggregated Commercial tools hardly integrate with free tools Company-wide business monitoring not possible Current setups support APM maturity only in parts Performance modelling difficult in silo environment Licensing based on low-level (CPU cores, #JVMs) Commercial and free tools use open data formats Data exchange allows triage big picture analysis Data aggregation allows (big data) analytics Commercial tools integrate with free tools Aggregated data enables business monitoring APM maturity process adoption within enterprises Enables comprehensive performance modelling Licensing based on medium-level KPIs (i.e. usage) 7

8 It s about Collaboration Monitoring & Application Deep Dive Web Performance Analysis Performance Modeling System & Resources Monitoring Real User Monitoring Low-Level Performance Profiling JRat JMemProf 8

9 Let s get concrete.. OPEN.xtrace OPEN.xtrace format enables data interoperability and exchange between APM tools SPE researchers to develop their approaches in a tool-agnostic and comparable manner Modelling with the information that is available in leading APM tools today OPEN.xtrace is a community effort as part of the overall goal to increase interoperability of SPE/APM techniques and tools. * Agent - Tool A OPEN.xtrace APM Tool Agent - Tool B * * Trace adapter 9

10 Open Specifications Some aspects... Open specifications for metrics i.e. Software Metrics Meta-Model (SMM ) à Why not used by commercial APM vendors? Open specifications for traces i.e. specification blueprint: OPEN.xtrace Analytics Aggregation Core/Collection Open specifications for monitoring agents and APM solutions i.e. inspectit, Kieker, etc. Consortiums like SPEC are needed to refine and drive these open specifications and standards! 10

11 Let s move on! More and more open APM initiatives and tools Let s combine knowledge and effort to embrace data exchange What about an universal specification for an open source Java monitoring agent? Maybe one day part of every Java JVM Take inspiration from existing and open source tools Disrupt the APM vendor market Not build the 100th Java agent Shift development focus from low-level (agents/data collectors) to high-level (analytics + business monitoring) Beneficial for everyone Sustainability, independance, transparency, extensibility and speed Open solutions Commercial vendors End user 11
