Application Performance Monitoring Checklist
Infrastructure Monitoring
Ensure all servers and virtual machines are being monitored.
Verify that network usage and latency metrics are being collected.
Check disk space and I/O metrics for all critical systems.
Monitor CPU and memory usage for performance bottlenecks.
Set up alerts for any infrastructure threshold breaches.
Application Metrics Collection
Track response times for all critical application endpoints.
Collect application error rates and log them appropriately.
Measure throughput and request rates.
Monitor database query performance and latency.
Ensure third-party service integrations are being monitored.
User Experience Monitoring
Implement real user monitoring (RUM) for front-end performance.
Track page load times and user interactions.
Collect and analyze user feedback and error reports.
Monitor session durations and user flows.
Set up synthetic monitoring to simulate user interactions.
Alerting and Notifications
Configure alert thresholds for key performance indicators.
Set up notification channels (email, SMS, Slack, etc.).
Ensure alerts are actionable and provide context.
Regularly review and adjust alert settings.
Implement escalation policies for critical alerts.
Reporting and Visualization
Create dashboards for real-time performance monitoring.
Generate regular performance reports for stakeholders.
Visualize key metrics using graphs and charts.
Ensure historical data is accessible for trend analysis.
Set up automated reports for periodic performance reviews.
Performance Optimization
Identify and eliminate performance bottlenecks.
Optimize database queries and indexing.
Implement caching strategies where appropriate.
Regularly update and patch software to improve performance.
Conduct load testing to anticipate performance issues.
