Hello!

Modern applications are dynamic, with new services spinning up frequently and deployments happening faster. Keeping APM agents manually configured across environments can quickly become a bottleneck.

To solve this, we’re introducing AutoProfiler, a full-stack APM capability built into the Site24x7 Full-Stack Agent that automatically discovers, instruments, and monitors your applications with zero manual setup.

What makes AutoProfiler powerful?

• Automatic application discovery: Detects running application processes across your host and lists them instantly for monitoring, with no blind spots
• Zero manual instrumentation: Automatically downloads and attaches the right APM agents (Java, .NET, Node.js, or Python) without code changes or configuration overhead
• Full-stack visibility out of the box: Combines infrastructure and application monitoring in a single agent, giving you deep insights from the process level to the code level
• Flexible monitoring with rules: Uses APM Process Monitoring Rules to control exactly which applications get monitored, based on the command, command line, working directory, environment variables, and more
• Agent-based and agentless monitoring in one flow: Enables you to choose between:
  • eBPF-APM for instant, agentless visibility with no code-level instrumentation in Linux
  • Traditional APM for deep code-level insights (transactions, traces, and method calls)

How it all comes together

AutoProfiler acts as the foundation for your APM workflow:

1. AutoProfiler discovers application processes automatically.
2. Application Discovery surfaces them in the console for visibility and selection.
3. APM Process Monitoring Rules define what gets monitored and how.
4. eBPF-APM gets attached and starts collecting application performance metrics automatically.

This creates a continuous, automated monitoring loop, with no manual intervention required.

Use case

Are you running multiple environments (development, staging, and production) on the same server?

With AutoProfiler and APM Process Monitoring Rules, you can automatically:

• Detect all instances.
• Apply rules to monitor only production workloads.
• Ignore non-critical processes.

Do it all without touching your application code or deployment pipelines.

Get started

1. Go to APM and click the + icon to access the installation steps for APM Insight AutoProfiler.
2. Follow the instructions, and AutoProfiler will take care of the rest—automatically discovering, instrumenting, and monitoring your applications.

No more manual agent management and no more missed services.
