New Relic or Java Plumbr for AEM application monitoring?

[wimsymons]

Which tool do you prefer/recommend for AEM application monitoring? Java Plumbr or New Relic?

[Peter_Puzanovs]

Dear Symon,

There is one more solution DynaTrace that has fairly good integration with AEM 5x and 6.x.

They support creation of Dashboards for Performance and tick all the boxes previous tools do.

They also provide additional stats:

• Requests
• GC stats
• Disk utilisation
• Requests
• Errors
• Exceptions
• Much more :)

For demo contact: nick.r.ross(at)dynatrace.com

Thanks,

Peter

NewRelic will be the one. It captures the threads and fairly more easy. We have many customers using it.

I would recommend New Relic.

Their server monitoring tools allow us to remotely monitor various servers and development applications for free and their stuff just works.  

Community article for Using New Relic with AEM :-

I hope this would help you.

We use NewRelic to monitor our AEM instances but I believe we need more direct/involved monitoring tools. Do guys know any other tools which we can use in addition to NewRelic ?

Thanks in Advance.

It may not be the tool you are looking for, but take a look at the open source Sling APM Framework which enables New Relic to provide meaningful transaction names in AEM.
