Application AnalyticsAppDynamics Application Analytics enables you to do real-time analysis of business performance that is correlated with the performance of your application software.

Application Analytics can help you answer business-oriented questions such as:

How many users experienced failed checkout transactions in the last 24 hours? How much revenue was lost because of these failures? How is that revenue distributed across different product categories?

What is your revenue for the day for a geographical region?

What was the revenue impact by product category associated with the two marketing campaigns we ran last week?

Alert and RespondAlerts let you know when problems exist and help you anticipate problems that might be developing.

Responses let you automate preventative actions to address those problems before they cause a severe slowdown or outage.

The alert and respond system is made up of four parts:

Health rules: define key performance metric thresholds for your application, across the stack.

Policies: link health rule violations and other performance-based events with appropriate actions.

Actions: automate what should be done in response to a wide variety of events, such as sending alerts and performing diagnostic and remedial tasks.

Email digests: send a compilation of messages sent to a recipient list when specified events occur.
