✔✔Clustered Services - ✔✔Same service in multiple processes - SAME process group
✔✔Separate Services - ✔✔Same service in multiple processes - MULTIPLE process
groups
✔✔Merged Services - ✔✔Services in the same process group, with the same
technology, but may exist across separate nodes
,✔✔Opaque Services - ✔✔Cannot be monitored but can be detected by requests made
by other services
✔✔Key Requests - ✔✔You can measure mission-critical requests or functionality,
