FactFinder Application Management Software

BlueStripe’s FactFinder is the only application management software solution that delivers 24/7 application monitoring and true application performance management by measuring all real application service requests, hop-by-hop, across the entire application system.

Since applications span multiple technology silos, FactFinder application management software delivers the most accurate application service level performance by measuring each inter-process service request across all application components – even service requests that cross technology silos.

FactFinder delivers a new perspective on application performance in a matter of
minutes – requiring zero configuration, zero maintenance and zero coding on your part.

    FactFinder’s enterprise-wide application management and monitoring keeps you aware of everything important about application performance for all your applications on a single dashboard. With 24/7 monitoring of thousands of servers across all platforms - physical, virtual, and cloud - and the ability to drill down into individual applications spanning to hundreds of servers, FactFinder makes you aware of issues and resolve them before end users are impacted. 

    FactFinder’s App Center application management dashboard includes an unmatched number of visual monitoring tools that deliver application-centric views of application performance and system resources, including:

    • Roll-over application response time & throughput graphs
    • Real-time views of the slowest and busiest applications
    • Live alert conditions shown in a highlighted Event & Alert Window

    You can set thresholds on any application component, process, or inter-process connection. When application performance or availability metrics cross a threshold, FactFinder can take several distinct actions:

    • Send an alert via e-mail, SMS, the FactFinder Console, or even another management tool
    • Execute a script to automate recovery, like re-booting a server

    While thresholds are easy to set, FactFinder also includes several pre-set thresholds requiring no human configuration for alerting.

    FactFinder application management software helps you solve application problems, even in the most complex environments.  When application performance slows down, FactFinder has everything you need to quickly resolve any issues. With visibility of all service request response times across the full application system, FactFinder provides the details necessary for you to quickly:

    • Identify the slow application component by following the service requests
    • Isolate the problematic process by drilling into the component
    • Prove the findings to the rest of the team

    To isolate the cause of an application performance slow-down using FactFinder, you simply follow 2 easy steps:

    1. Follow the service requests across the application to focus on the specific component where the slow-down is occurring
    2. Drill down into the identified component to isolate the problematic process

    This application problem management can be done with either live or historical data.  With a few clicks, you can load all performance data from any desired historical period right into the FactFinder Console.  FactFinder can also leverage its Rewind™ flight recorder feature to retrieve performance data about components you weren’t even monitoring.

    After you isolate or resolve the issue, click a button to print a Triage Report to communicate your findings to other team members with facts they will recognize and can act on.

    Application Management Benchmarking (FactFinder Load Curves)

    Application management benchmarking
    features include unique Load Curves
    that forecast application performance

    FactFinder application management software makes it fast and easy for you to compare application performance or configuration data from before and after an application event – such as updated software installation, deployment of a new release, or inclusion in a virtualization project.

    Application benchmarking is easy using FactFinder Snapshots. With a click, you see all important application performance metrics, application shapes, and configuration aspects of one or more applications over a range of time compared to live data.

    At any time, you can quickly and easily create comparison reports that show the differences in an application across two time periods. Inputs to the Comparison Report include:

    • Any FactFinder Snapshot of the same application
    • Live data from an App Explorer Workbench tab
    • Historical data from an App Explorer Workbench tab

    FactFinder makes it easy for you to quickly compare current performance measurements with past application performance benchmarks.

    FactFinder also helps you understand future application capacity needs with out-of-the-box performance reports and Load Curves, which accurately predict how the application and resources will handle increased user load.
