Java Custom Metrics and Java Logs API

The same Metrics API that is available for .NET is now out for Java!  With this new Java API, you can log and monitor custom metrics, business KPIs, and other important business or application events that could provide insights into application or user behavior. With Stackify, you can monitor, trend, and setup alerts for these important events, making them an actionable part of your overall application health picture.  To learn more about the Java Custom Metrics API, visit the Stackify GitHub Page.

This new release also welcomes the addition of a new API for logging Java Apps to Stackify.  Just install the Log4J or Logback log appenders to begin logging.

Nginx Access Log Parsing

Stackify can now monitor the health of your Nginx Web Apps.  Enabling Web Logging for Nginx Apps will let you look at Requests/min vs Average Page Load time, HTTP Request Error Rate, and Satisfaction Scores. (To learn how to set up the Access Logs, be sure to visit the article Configure for Nginx ).
