Application performance monitoring software automates the process and is frequently employed to gain visibility into the status of critical servers and applications such as Microsoft Active Directory®, Exchange, SQL Server®, IIS, Windows®, and Linux®. Application performance monitoring enables root cause analysis and early detection of issues that could lead to performance problems.
