Micro-Metrics Monitoring (m3), is an exclusive yCrash technology that is designed to predict and mitigate performance issues before they surface in your production environment. This post intends to highlight its unique features. 1. Predict Outages Most of the APM tools monitor Macro Metrics like CPU utilization, Memory utilization and response time. While these are excellent... Continue Reading →
What is the difference between GCeasy and yCrash?
Lets understand how GCeasy & yCrash differ from each other in the following table. GCeasyyCrashWhat is the purpose?GCeasy is used to optimize Garbage collection pause times & throughput.yCrash is an end-end root cause analysis solution. It answers the questions: Why did your application slow down? Why did the CPU spike up? Which objects in memory... Continue Reading →
yCrash Demo video
yCrash app is a non-intrusive, secure, instant root cause analysis tool. It captures thread dump, heap dump, GC log, netstat, vmstat, top, and several more artifacts, right when the problem is happening in the production. It instantly analyzes all the artifacts & generates a root cause analysis report in the dashboard. Watch this below video... Continue Reading →

Monitoring != Root cause analysis
APM gives news, yCrash gives answer Industry has seen cutting-edge Application Performance Monitoring tools (i.e., AppDynamics, NewRelic, Dynatrace) and infrastructure monitoring (i.e., Nagios, Ngmon) tools. These monitoring tools are great at detecting the symptoms of the problems. i.e., they can detect CPU spiked by x%, memory degraded by y%, and response time shot up by... Continue Reading →
Configure mail server
yCrash server can be configured to send notification emails whenever new incidents are reported. Based on the hostname, app name from where the incident is reported, you can configure to send alert emails. Here are some sample rules: If incident is reported on ‘host1.mycompany.com’ device then send email notification to user1@mycompany.com If incident is reported... Continue Reading →
