AppDynamics 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 Respond
Alerts 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.
