In the age where applications reign supreme, your organizations must be agile in application performance management and app development in order to meet the market demands and stay competitive. Even with mature APM solutions, developer, test and operations teams are strained by operational complexity, accelerated release schedules, and big data challenges to quickly find the root cause of issues affecting end user experience. The power of advanced analytics and data science can help us make the most of the vast cache of APM data we collect and help our DevOps teams supercharge user experience. It’s time to take some of the load off of our humans and let technology make it easier to focus on meaningful changes in user, application and system behavior. Analytics are becoming a valuable component of APM solutions to redefine triage, improve application quality, and delight the end-user. In a webcast on August 7th, 2014, Ken Godskind, Chief blogger and Analyst, APMExaminer.com shared how the big data of APM can supercharge your DevOps transformation. Chris Kline, Senior Director, CA Technologies followed Ken and discussed how the Advanced Behavior Analytics capability of CA APM can assist in this journey. Ken and Chris used this slide set during the webcast which can be viewed at http://goo.gl/TZYEuq

APM Challenges for DevOps

• We are going faster!

• App delivery is more complex

• False alarms

• Root cause

• Big data

Challenge #1: We are going faster!

Challenge #2: complexity

• Modern modularized webscale architecture

• Virtualization

• Cloud

• 3rd party APIs and components

• Support for multitude of devices and networks

Challenge #3: time to find root cause

Identify – Fix – Test - Deploy

Challenge #4: False alarms

Challenge #5: Big Data

Dashboard Overload!!!

We need some power tools!

The Power of Analytics

• Automatic

• Reduce false alarms

• Root causes isolation

• Identifying problems earlier

• Awareness of unknown failures

Risk Reduction

It’s automatic!

CA APM ABA Goes Beyond Single Metric MonitoringOne-of-a-kind Advanced Statistical Engine to Detect Anomalies

• Automatically configures to eliminate errors

• Instantly starts determining what’s “normal”

• Processes 100,000 multi-variant metrics

• Provides metrics in 15-second intervals

• Intelligent pattern matching shows you how

one item impacts another item

FULLY INTEGRATED INTO THE APM USER EXPERIENCE

Automatically Configures & Starts Working

Application Behavior Analytics (ABA) is INCLUDED with upgrade to v9.5 or higher

• Automatically configures to easily install and

eliminate chance of errors

• Instantly starts learning what’s “normal” in

your app environment

• Anomaly Detection process 100,000 multi-

variant metrics per 15-second interval in real-

time

• Intelligent pattern matching shows you how

changes in one metric may affect changes in

other metric(s)

• Fast, easy, root cause analysis to find problems

BEFORE they impact users

Redefine Triage With Operational IntelligenceAnalytic compute power automatically finds metrics to help you act decisively

ABA: A Different Type of Analysis

• Takes multiple data sources

• Analyzes in aggregate

• Fully integrated into APM user experience

• Available with APM 9.5 at no charge

Cracking the Code on APM Big DataApplication Behavior Analytics Part of an Integrated Solution

• It’s all about the application users

• Solve problems before they impact users

• Thresholds & Single Metrics Approach drives

the “blame game”

• ABA uses multi-variate metrics, auto config &

pattern matching.

• Over 1000 large Enterprises use CA APM
