Metrics Contextualization with APM Comparison Mode

Overview

Comparison mode is designed to provide context to your APM metrics data. It allows you to compare the current application performance (requests, errors, or latency) with data from 1, 2, 4, or 7 days ago. This comparison not only gives you a snapshot of the current performance but also helps you understand the evolution of each metric. By using this mode, you can effectively contextualize your metric data, gaining valuable insights to troubleshoot your application performance. Moreover, detect service anomalies within a specific timeframe by introducing a trend indicator and turning your service and database catalogs into powerful continuous improvement tools.

Configuration

STEP 1. Click the Comparison Mode button, which is available on the following APM-related Coralogix UI pages:

Service Catalog

STEP 2. From the Compare To menu, select the time period that the current performance data will be compared to:

1 day ago - Performance data collected 1 day ago.
2 days ago - Performance data collected 2 days ago.
4 days ago - Performance data collected 4 days ago.
7 days ago - Performance data collected 7 days ago.

Your selection is displayed next to the Compared To button. The Service Catalog page displays changes, reflecting improvement (green) or deterioration (red) of the services during selected timeframe.
