End-to-end Monitoring and the
Importance of Domain Expertise

© eG Innovations, Inc | www.eginnovations.com
• Enterprises are looking to cloud service providers to outsource
costs and risks...
Cloud Service Providers
In a cloud, you release control of so many areas that it’s important to retain simplicity
in the areas you can still control. Whether you move your on-premises infrastructure to
the cloud or create new solutions there, make sure you do the availability math ... and
are prepared for the chaos.
When debugging a broken system, you should first look at your infrastructure tests
... . Testing should expose any infrastructure components that are not configured
properly or are not providing the expected performance. Just because you don’t
manage the underlying infrastructure doesn’t mean the infrastructure
cannot be the cause of your problems.
– Cloud Native Infrastructure, O’Reilly Media
...but this doesn’t mean infrastructure has disappeared!

© eG Innovations, Inc | www.eginnovations.com
Cloud Native Realities
• 'Cloud native’ refers to applications or services that are
container-packaged, dynamically scheduled and micro
services-oriented
• Bare metal (physical infrastructure) and virtual machines will
coexist with container technology; hyperconverged
infrastructures can provide flexibility to leverage both
approaches
“there are still a lot of enterprise workloads -- 44% by IBM's estimate -- that will
remain on dedicated servers, said Arvind Krishna, senior vice president for hybrid cloud
at IBM and director of IBM Research. For many businesses, it's too disruptive to refactor
applications for cloud computing.”
– TechTarget

Operating Models
• Applications ≠ Services
– A services-oriented approach is
paramount
– Services provide the context
needed to understand business
impacts and dependencies
– A single digital business
service could have multiple
different ecosystems and
infrastructure
– Performance monitoring will
need to address multiple
operating models and supplier
relationships

End-to-End Monitoring and the Importance of Domain
Expertise
• All applications are not the same
Application Types Examples
Web applications Typically, custom applications built on technologies such as
Java, .NET, PHP, Python, Node.js, Rails, etc.
Packaged enterprise
applications
SAP, Siebel, PeopleSoft, SharePoint, Atlassian Confluence,
Salesforce, etc.
Desktop-based applications Microsoft Office, QuickBooks, Graphics tools, etc.
Mobile applications Applications natively built to run on mobile platforms
Middleware applications Application servers, message queues
Backend applications Databases
Infrastructure applications Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, etc.
VDI applications Citrix, VMware Horizon, Microsoft RDS

© eG Innovations, Inc | www.eginnovations.com
APM: Why One Size Does Not Fit All
• Monitoring of an application should broadly cover health,
availability, response time, and usage
• Detailed performance metrics in each category above are
dependent on the nature and domain of the application
– i.e., metrics that apply for SAP may not apply for a .NET-based web
application;
– performance monitoring of a database would be entirely different
from VDI application (such as Citrix)
• Domain expertise is needed
– How the application functions, protocols it uses, inter-application
dependencies, single/multi-threaded, common failure modes, etc.
Understand the scope of your digital business services and the
underpinning ecosystems needed to support them!

Monitor and Control Loops
• ...or complex!
1 ITIL v3 Service Operations, page 124

© eG Innovations, Inc | www.eginnovations.com
Monitor and Control Loops
• Digital business services
have end-to-end and top-
to-bottom dependencies
• Deviations from normal
behavior can ripple across
these dependencies
• This is inclusive of
applications and
infrastructure regardless of
deployment model

ITSM Monitor and Control Loop
1 ITIL v3 Service Operations, page 126
• Service Strategy defines
architectures and
standards
• Service Design defines
norms along with
monitoring and control
mechanisms
• Monitor and control loops
are within an
organizational context;
design must bridge strategy
and operations

Monitoring and Observability
1 ITIL v3 Service Operations, page 126
• Monitoring provides
critical feedback to design
and development
Monitoring
Observability
• Digital Business Services
that are designed with
observability in mind
provide mechanisms that
build telemetry into the
service that can trigger
self-healing through
embedded analytics and
automated diagnostics.

© eG Innovations, Inc | www.eginnovations.com
Monitoring and Observability
• In practice, the service
management monitor and
control loop is a ‘yin-yang’
relationship between
observability and
monitoring.
• They are complementary,
interconnected,
interdependent and they
may give rise to each other
as they interrelate to one
another
The cycles of feedback generated by service management’s complex
control loops are dependent on observability and monitoring!

Accelerating Development Pipeline..
As the business asks for more
rapid development pipelines
(i.e., continuous delivery)...
....the cycles of monitoring
and observability
accelerate...
...which drives the need for
analytics...

Analytics, Monitoring and Observability
...but like monitoring, Analytics is a very broad area and could
include discovery, interpretation and communication of
meaningful patterns in [almost any] data1!
– People, Process, Technology
– Business (Risk, Portfolio, Marketing, etc.) and IT (InfoSec, Operations,
Software, etc.)

Performance Analytics, Monitoring and Observability
• Descriptive Analytics
– data aggregation and data mining to provide insight into the past and
answer: “What has happened?”
• Pre-correlated alerts indicate
root-cause and provide
meaningful notifications that are
actionable
• i.e., what just happened?
• Historical analysis and trending
• How do we compare to prior
baselines?
• When will we reach
maximum capacity?

• Predictive Analytics
– statistical models and forecasts techniques to understand the future
and answer: “What could happen?”
Performance Analytics, Monitoring and Observability
• Pre-correlated alerts also indicate
effects and provide early warning
• i.e., what could happen if no
action is taken?
MinorX
Aberdeen research has shown that by implementing IT monitoring and analysis platforms that
have a complete, end-to-end view of all systems and applications, along with predictive
analytics that can detect problems before they happen, organizations have high uptime,
excellent performance, and are able to reduce costs and overcome the challenges of a modern IT
operation.

Performance Analytics, Monitoring and Observability
• Other Relevant Use Cases
– Log Analytics
• Business and IT use cases in risk management, compliance, security analysis,
market intelligence, e-commerce personalization, and fraud detection
– Embedded Analytics
• Integrates analytic content and capabilities within a process
• Often used in Business Intelligence applications
– Provides relevant information and analytical tools designed for a specific task
– Provides information in the context of a decision or action
– Enables more efficient use of applications by users
These use cases have some applicability to monitoring the performance
of digital business services, however they may fall short of what’s
needed for a complete solution

Demonstration
Video
NOTE: The video's audio feed will be played through Computer audio
(mic and speakers). This means that any attendees who have dialed
into the audio conference using Phone audio will hear the video play
through their computer or device's speakers rather than over the
telephone.
If you are not hearing the audio properly (whether you are connected
via Computer or Phone audio), check the volume on your computer's
speakers and/or check your device output. It's possible that the audio
is playing through a different output (like a USB headset that is
plugged in).

Key Monitoring Considerations
• Your approach to IT analytics should account for existing IT services
and differentiate between IT and business analysis
• Analytics must account for cross-domain characteristics (every layer,
every component) and incorporate domain expertise
• Ability to collect data from a wide variety of data sources and use
appropriate collection methods
• Flexibility to adapt to multiple operating models

• Front end ‘Systems of Innovation’
• Web-based ‘Systems of Differentiation’
• Back-end ‘Systems of Record’

APM in the Digital Enterprise
• The data and metrics collected at instrumentation points across the
application ecosystem are essential to performance monitoring and
root cause analysis.
• However, analytics capable of transforming data and metrics into an
application-focused report or dashboards are what separates actual
application monitoring from relatively simple silo monitoring.
• Analytics add the context necessary to understand the role of each
moving part in the end-to-end execution environment, a viewpoint
that is absolutely critical for rapid— and eventually automated—
problem determination and resolution.
• Without this context, these solutions would simply be operational data
stores versus true tools capable of insight into application ecosystems

monitoring

© eG Innovations, Inc | www.eginnovations.com
The Digital Workspace Approach
• Digital workspaces such as Citrix Workspace and VMware
Horizon deliver applications and/or desktops to end users
• If the workspace is slow, so is the digital business service
• If you cannot logon to the workspace, the digital business
service is down
• ‘Bottom-up’ approach
• Enables rapid ROI and a foundation to build on
May risk effective linkage to the business (i.e.,
limited to domain) if a service view is not taken

© eG Innovations, Inc | www.eginnovations.com
The APM Approach
• Target an application for real user monitoring and transaction
tracing
• Enables service teams working in pre-production to improve
performance testing (i.e., shift-left)
• ‘Top-Down’ approach
• Auto-diagnosis capability expands as underlying infrastructure
is instrumented
Will not fully exercise converged APM/IPM

© eG Innovations, Inc | www.eginnovations.com
The Digital Business Service Approach
• Target a complete business service for unified monitoring
• Allows enterprise to exercise converged application and
infrastructure performance monitoring ‘day 1’
• ‘Top-Down’ approach
• Service targeting is critical
Beware of stakeholder complexity and
organizational maturity constraints
