As an architect at SolarWinds, it’s essential to work with our own monitoring tools as a form of quality control and source for innovation. As one of the largest players in the IT monitoring and management world, we’re always thinking about ways to make it seamless for customers to work across our suite of tools. One of those tools I’ll focus on today is SolarWinds® Loggly®—our log management and analytics product, which is also a part of our APM integrated experience.

Software engineering teams are continually seeking methods to improve and speed up the software development process. DevOps, an engineering methodology that brings development and operations together, is one popular strategy. Development and operations teams are frequently isolated in traditional engineering companies, which can lead to conflict between these two vital arms.

Process management refers to various activities around the creation, termination, and monitoring of processes. A process manager is a program that ensures that your applications always stay online after being launched. Process managers can prevent downtime in production by automatically restarting your application after a crash or even after the host machine reboots. They are also useful in development: they auto-restart an app once its source files or dependencies are updated.

There’s a lot to consider when engineering and implementing software, whether as an update patch or a newly-introduced product. End users have certain expectations when introduced to new or updated software—at the top of the list are aesthetics, ease of use, stability, and response time—the last two of which can be significantly improved when you employ application performance management or APM.
