Introduction

Traffic-Hunter

Traffic-Hunter is APM (Application Performance Management)

• Real-Time Monitoring: Capture and visualize application metrics and transaction logs in real-time.

• Easy Configuration: Easily configure the agent using a simple YAML file, making setup straightforward and user-friendly.

• Efficient Data Storage: Leverages TimescaleDB for efficient storage and querying of time-series data, enabling high-performance analytics on metrics and traces.

• Visualization: This APM leverages Grafana for powerful and customizable visualization of metrics and transaction logs, enabling real-time insights and easy integration into your observability stack.

• Zero-Code: Traffic Hunter Agent uses Java Instrumentation to modify bytecode at runtime, requiring no code changes from users. Simply attach the agent, and it automatically tracks metrics and traces with zero configuration.

Overview

• Application Metric - cpu, heap memory, thread, web server, dbcp (database connection pool)

• Trace - Trace track application requests in real-time, recording executed methods and related information. (Support zipkin)

• Logs - Logs from multiple applications can be centrally managed to enable efficient logging.
