Come learn how we improved performance testing for Cloud-native applications by integrating Elasticsearch with Riverbed application performance monitoring (APM). The objective was to create realistic performance testing that was representative of real-world usage of the application.

DATA QUALITY IS EVERYTHING! Elasticsearch was used for log ingestion, SNMP Traps, Syslog, and infrastructure monitoring. In this talk we'll cover:

• How we developed focused Kibana dashboards and alerts that would combine data collected by AppInternals and other machine data collected by Elasticsearch.
• We'll walk you through how we capture data and present this data in Kibana, this includes three types of date:
- Information about objects under monitoring and their topology – such
as an instance running on (which servers), and which server tags are
used to groups the servers.
- Metrics – monitoring objects; including specific counts of normal, slow,
very slow transactions.
- Alerts – generated by AppInternals via SNMP channel.
