StackOps App Monitoring

Overview

This technical programme covers the advanced application monitoring capabilities within StackOps. Building on foundational knowledge, participants will learn to implement key capabilities essential for optimising application performance. The curriculum focuses on APM Tracing, OpenTelemetry, and Synthetic Monitoring to effectively track, analyse, and proactively address potential issues. Participants will also learn to set up and manage Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and apply Universal Profiling for in-depth performance insights. This programme is designed for technical StackOps users seeking to enhance their monitoring skills and implement effective reliability strategies.
