This document discusses application performance management (APM) challenges in modern digital environments and introduces Application Behavior Analytics (ABA) as a solution. ABA uses automatic configuration, anomaly detection on multi-variant metrics, and pattern matching to identify problems earlier, reduce false alarms, and pinpoint root causes. It is included with upgrades to CA APM version 9.5 or higher to provide fully integrated operational intelligence for application triage.

6. APM Challenges for DevOps
•We are going faster!
•App delivery is more complex
•False alarms
•Root cause
•Big data

7. Challenge #1: We are going faster!

8. Challenge #2: complexity
•Modern modularized webscalearchitecture
•Virtualization
•Cloud
•3rdparty APIs and components
•Support for multitude of devices and networks

9. Challenge #3: time to find root cause
Identify –Fix –Test -Deploy

10. Challenge #4: False alarms

11. Challenge #5: Big Data

12. Dashboard Overload!!!

13. We need some power tools!

14. The Power of Analytics
•Automatic
•Reduce false alarms
•Root causes isolation
•Identifying problems earlier
•Awareness of unknown failures
Risk Reduction

15. It’s automatic!
adjective
1.(of a device or process) working by itself with little or no direct human control.
"an automatic kettle that switches itself off when it boils"
synonyms:mechanized, mechanical, automated, computerized, electronic, robotic;

21. 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

22. 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 Intelligence
Analytic 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

44. 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
