Application Performance Monitoring (APM)

Gain end-to-end observability into your applications performance, identify and resolve issues instantly - all with zero code changes.

Cover everything

The groundcover platform collects data all across your stack using the superpower of eBPF instrumentation. Install in seconds and gain 100% coverage into application metrics and traces with zero code changes or configurations.

Resolve faster

By seamlessly correlating traces with application metrics, logs, and infrastructure events, groundcover’s APM enables you to detect and resolve root issues faster.

Improve user experience

Optimize your application performance and resource utilization faster than ever before, avoid downtimes and make poor end-user experience a thing of the past.

Out-of-the-box application tracing

  • Deploy in seconds and cover your entire stack  
using the power of eBPF.
  • Cover API calls, database queries, message queues and network calls without any changes to your application code.
  • Search and filter traces instantly — with a simple query builder.

Live Network Dependency Map

  • Visualize a live service dependency map to troubleshoot complex issues faster.
  • Easily discover network bottlenecks and erroneous connections.
  • Instantly dive deeper into a specific service 
to continue the investigation.

Distributed tracing, From anywhere in your cloud

  • Any volume of logs, for the same flat price
  • Integrate any log steam
  • Centralize all of your log data
  • All traces with no sampling, for the same flat price

Improve application performance

  • Detect application issues with one centralized view of all service-level golden signals like request throughputs, 
error rates and latencies.
  • Detect request bottlenecks, slow queries and troubleshoot with detailed examples of problematic traces.
  • Set proactive alerts around SLOs and health metrics to improve reliability and avoid unexpected downtimes.

Troubleshoot and solve issues faster 

  • Automatically detect application issues and aggregate them into actionable insights.
  • Identify and solve issues quickly by correlating traces 
with logs, metrics, and infrastructure events from 
across your stack.
  • Troubleshoot fast with full request and response 
payloads from API calls and database queries.

Application Performance Monitoring FAQs

Everything you need to know about APM

What is an Application Performance Monitoring (APM) solution?

An Application Performance Monitoring (APM) platform is a set of tools and services designed to monitor and manage the performance and availability of software applications in real-time. APM platforms are crucial for businesses and organizations that rely on software applications to deliver services to customers, as they help ensure that these applications perform well and meet user expectations.

How does eBPF work?

eBPF, which stands for Extended Berkeley Packet Filter, is a powerful and versatile technology that allows for efficient and customizable monitoring capabilities from within the Linux kernel. groundcover uses eBPF to collect application traces and monitor application performance metrics, without the need for installing runtime agents or integrating 3rd party SDKs into your application code.

Does groundcover support OpenTelemetry?

Yes! groundcover supports an easy integration with any OpenTelemetry interface. In fact, our eBPF sensor uses the OpenTelemetry Protocol to stream the traces it collects so we can be compatible with any environment.
