AppOptics Combined Dashboard Trace-level Root Cause Summary Distributed Transaction Tracing Service-level Root Cause Summary APM Response Time
Simplified Application Root Cause

AppOptics trace- and service-level root cause simplify pinpointing application performance issues. These simplified views work for legacy monolithic applications just as well as they work for modern distributed applications. Remove the guesswork from your incident response and have your teams focus on working together to solve the problem.

Distributed Tracing Across Dyno & Apps

● Tie together the path of an entire request into a trace, so even as you add internal services or APIs, you’ll know the link between deep-down bottlenecks and user impact. See end-to-end behavior of individual requests in real-time
● Understand the impact of downstream services on upstream resources across N tiers

Instant App & Dyno Health Monitoring

Get detailed Heroku router, runtime, and database monitoring just by enabling the add-on. Enjoy pre-created graphs and dashboards.
