Also known as APM.

A component of systems management and typically falling under the broader umbrella of ITIL, Application Performance Monitoring keeps a close eye on the software applications businesses use to get work done. APM seeks to establish service level minimums in terms of response times and availability of identified applications, identify any issues with the application and alert IT staff with suggested remedies. APM is an essential tool helping IT professionals deliver expected user experience levels to those relying on applications to fulfil their duties.
