It will enable developers, DevOps engineers, and IT professionals to simplify and accelerate management and troubleshooting, from the infrastructure and application layers to the end-user experience. In turn, it will allow customers to focus on building the innovative capabilities businesses need for today’s on-demand environments. “Application performance and the digital experience of users have a direct and significant impact on business success,” said Christoph Pfister, executive vice president of products, SolarWinds. “With the stakes so high, the ability to monitor across the three pillars of observability—logs, metrics, and tracing—is essental. SolarWinds Cloud offers this comprehensive functionality with industry-best speed and simplicity. With AppOptics and the enhancements to Papertrail and Pingdom, we’re breaking new ground by delivering even greater value to our customers in an incredibly powerful, disruptively affordable SaaS portfolio.” AppOptics: Simple, unified monitoring for the modern application stack For a unified view, AppOptics’ distributed tracing, host and IT infrastructure monitoring, and custom metrics all feed the same dashboarding, analytics, and alerting pipelines. SolarWinds designed the solution to simplify and unify the management of complex modern applications, infrastructure, or both. This allows customers to solve problems and improve performance across the application stack, in an easy-to-use, as-a-service platform. For application performance monitoring, the powerful distributed tracing functionality can follow requests across any number of hosts, microservices, and languages without manual instrumentation. Users can move quickly from visualizing trends to deep, code-level, root-cause analysis. AppOptics bridges the traditional divide between application and infrastructure health metrics with unified dashboards, alerting, and management features. The host agent runs Snap™ and Telegraf™ plug-ins, enabling drop-in monitoring of key systems. The solution integrates with a wide range of systems to support the heterogeneous infrastructure environments dominating today’s IT landscape. AppOptics serves as a highly extensible custom metrics and analytics platform that brings together applications, infrastructure, and business data to deliver deep insights that enable fast problem resolution. Finally, with pricing starting at $7.50 USD per host/month, AppOptics delivers an unmatched combination of deep functionality and very affordable pricing, a breakthrough that makes powerful application performance monitoring capabilities accessible to virtually all organizations. Papertrail: Faster, smarter troubleshooting with log velocity analytics and ‘lightning search’ Also, new to Papertrail is “lightning search,” which will enable developers, support engineers, and systems administrators to search millions or billions of log messages faster than ever before, and then immediately act on information found within the log messages. Together, Papertrail’s latest enhancements empower customers to troubleshoot complex problems, error messages, application server errors, and slow database queries, faster and smarter, with full visibility across all logs.
The latest updates to the Pingdom solution’s digital experience monitoring will empower customers to know first when issues affect their site visitors' experience, and quickly surface critical information needed to enhance the overall experience. SolarWinds Cloud: The next evolution of SaaS-based full-stack monitoring AppOptics builds on the technology and feedback SolarWinds put into Librato and TraceView since their introductions. Now, the company has integrated and enhanced this functionality within a single solution, taking another big step forward in advancing its strategy to unify full-stack monitoring across the three pillars of observability on a common SaaS-based platform. SolarWinds’ ultimate goal is to enable a single view of infrastructure, applications, and digital experience, which will help customers solve their most complex performance and reliability problems quickly, with unexpected simplicity and industry-leading affordability. AWS re:Invent 2017 conference The SolarWinds team will also be available to demonstrate the all-new AppOptics solution, as well as Papertrail and Pingdom updates, at Booth 228 at AWS re:Invent (November 27 – December 1).

Customer and industry analyst quotes Ben Jones, Director, IT “AppOptics gives us a fast view of the issues. As a result, it helped us drastically cut down on our support time and increase our speed in resolving problems. Within five minutes of installation, we had real-time tracing and application performance data, which is enabling us to quickly pinpoint issues and bring the right resources to bear in finding solutions.” Tim Grieser “Our research shows that customers increasingly are demanding more integrated products that enable them to get a broader view of performance across their IT systems,” said Tim Grieser, Research Vice President, Enterprise System Management Software, IDC. “Bringing together tracing data and a range of metrics into common dashboards, analytics and alerting systems is work that addresses this important emerging requirement.” Additional Resources Connect with SolarWinds 1 Gartner: “Innovation Insight for Digital Experience Monitoring,” Analyst: Will Cappelli, Published: 14 October 2016.
