Application Monitoring – Various exceptions to help you troubleshoot and troubleshoot log monitoring, database monitoring, JVM usage, errors and warnings, critical errors and production issues. This visualizes call and response times to various services. You can see in detail the problems that occurred in the application, you can investigate the service or code that is causing the problem.

AppDynamics is one of the world's greatest application performance monitoring tools, its use for monitoring IIS traffic is commendable. We can thoroughly investigate any issues that arise or may arise in our apps. We can tackle issues before they develop by spotting circumstances that may generate difficulties early on. Furthermore, we can rapidly monitor our apps using end-user dashboarding, analytics, and monitoring. It enables a synthetic tracking of our programs, allowing us to view how the many applications deployed by the server connect with one another in real time.

AppDynamics agents can abuse server resources which can cause problems. The cost of the license is on the high side, overall I liked the features it offers which helped me solve many problems.
