Application Performance Monitoring in .NET

Developers commonly face the problem of troubleshooting issues in a production environment with little or no information to accurately determine a solution. Policies prohibit needed access to servers, error logs often show an incomplete picture surrounding issues, and finding the root cause with a partial view of the entire system is frustrating and time consuming leading to increased stress and a longer time to resolution.

Organizations often deny additional expenditure for something not directly enhancing its profit and forces its staff to manually search for a problem’s root cause. The ramification of this is an organization’s failure to consider financial implications stemming from system under performance and outages. Ultimately, they perceive each issue and its resolution as a necessary expense and view finding the issue without incurring additional costs as positive.

With this, developers must find a way to reduce the effort to track and analyze potential issues without incurring additional expense, and by using various systems from open source projects along with relying on small changes to programming, it becomes easy to locate, analyze, and report problems in a clear and meaningful way which reduce downtime, stress, and overall cost.
