APM - Diving in to the async profiler feature of the java APM agent

May 11, 2020 By Elastic In Elastic

But once a problematic service is identified, it can be difficult to find out which methods are to blame for the slowdown. In this presentation, Felix Barnsteiner (one of the core developers of the APM Java Agent) will show you the different ways to get method-level insight into your application.
