022 FusionReactor Application Performance Monitor – Why It’s Different Than Other APM Tools and What’s New in Version 7 & the CLOUD, with David Tattersall
David Tattersall talks about “FusionReactor Application Performance Monitor - Why It’s Different Than Other APM Tools and What’s New in Version 7 & the CLOUD” in this episode of ColdFusion Alive Podcast with host Michaela Light. His flagship product - FusionReactor is used on over 25,000 production servers and has been purchased by over 5,000 customers.
Show notes
What exactly is FusionReactor?
Low overhead CF and Java application performance monitor
It can measure 100’s of different metrics + alert you to potential issues
How long has FusionReactor been around and who’s using it?
First launched in 2005
5,000+ customers, 80% US
25,000+ servers running FR in production
What differentiates FusionReactor from other Java APM tools?
Crash protection and improved application/server resilience
Built in low overhead, safe & secure, familiar “developer tools” - debugger, line profiler and memory analyzer - help you get to the root of the problem as fast as possible in your production environment
What’s the overhead on the server when running FusionReactor?
Less than 1% overhead compared to 2-5% on other monitors
What is exciting in the new version 7?
Support for JMX (Java Managment Extensions)
MBeans (Managed Beans)
→ Better metrics
Direct integration between FusionReactor and AWS Cloud watch
Debugger one click breakpoint, decompile your code on the fly
Memory Analyzer - identify heap utilization - spot memory leaks
Why did you add FR to the CLOUD?
Save server monitoring data to the cloud so it doesn’t clog up your server
Combining metrics from multiple servers (instances), say across a cluster, to provide a combined application view
Powerful alerting engine on any of the metrics in FusionReactor CLOUD, with integration to many common Alerting Channels - such as
Hipchat
Slack
PageDuty
Email
HTTP hooks
FusionAnalytics for on premise, in-depth analysis
Two way link from FR CLOUD to the local FR so can run a stack trace or GC from the cloud
Webinar on this at https://www.fusion-reactor.com/webinar/fusionreactor-cloud/
Use FR to monitor FR CLOUD
What versions of ACF and Lucee does FR work with?
ACF 6.1, 7 MX (FusionReactor 4.5)
ACF 8,9,10, 11, 2016 (latest version of FR)
Railo 3.x, 4.x
Lucee 4.5, 5.x
Also supports Java containers e.g. Tomcat, JBoss, GLassfish, Websphere + many Java frameworks e.g. Spring and Struts
What is in your dev roadmap for the next year?
FR 7 launch
FusionReactor CLOUD launch
Intelligent analysis of data - to determine why something is broken
Log analysis
Introduction of a new agent for Node.js monitoring
Why do you support CF conferences around the world?
Why are you proud to support CF?
WWIT for CF to be more alive this year?
