Monitoring, troubleshooting and tuning web application in production environments

Managing production environments offers a large set of challenges. Restricted access, a limited tool set, unpredictable traffic patterns and organizational gaps are only a few. To overcome these barriers one must understand the process, the runtime environment and the practical application of technologies and their behaviours. In this interactive session we will demonstrate capabilities that enable developers, administrators, and operators to diagnose, measure, and monitor their applications and the infrastructure their applications are deployed on. The goal is to achieve swift isolation, correct diagnosis and minimum impact resolution.
