Instrumentation Trends

Instrumentation for tracking service behaviors is continuing its evolution. There are several ways of leveraging the instrumentation after the basic system is installed.

Adaptability

Adding adaptable measuring strategies reduces loads and adjusts the granularity as needed. There are minimal changes while service delivery is operating without problems. However, as problems arise, the instrumentation can shift into other modes. If an active collector detects a service outage, it can shorten the interval it uses for virtual transactions to measure the duration of the outage.
