LogicMonitor Steps Up Its Monitoring for Microservices, Containerized Applications

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based monitoring provider LogicMonitor implemented new capabilities into its platform to help DevOps professionals peer into microservices and containerized applications.LogicMonitor’s self-named performance monitoring platform is based on a SaaS architecture and relies on automation to collect performance data from a variety of environments. This includes on-premises, cloud, and hybrid architectures such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, servers, storage, networks, virtualization, applications, websites — and now Kubernetes, microservices, and containerized applications.As Kubernetes and other containerized environments grow increasingly popular, monitoring these environments has created new challenges for enterprises. These architectures are more difficult to monitor than more traditional environments because of the increase in application data, and they are more complex than what traditional monitoring tools are equipped to handle.
