Process |Group |Instance
Single |process |that |belongs |to |a |designated |Process |Group
Process |Group
Logical |cluster |of |processes |that |belong |to |the |same |application |or |deployment |unit |and |
perform |the |same |function |across |multiple |hosts.
Does |NOT |show |in |Smartscape.
Availability |Problem
Triggered |when:
* |Any |process |instance |in |the |process |group |becomes |unavailable
* |a |user-defined |threshold |for |the |minimum |number |of |running |processes |within |a |Process |
Group |is |not |met.
Services
A |set |of |code |or |classes |that |performs |some |type |of |business |logic.
Common |types:
* |Web |requests
* |Web |services
* |DB |calls
* |Message |Queues
* |Custom |services
Services |(in |Smartscape)
Services |are |request-centric |so |typically |span |across |multiple |machines |in |a |data |center
Opaque |services
-Services |detected |on |the |calling |side |for |which |code-level |visibility |isn't |available |with |
unsupported/unrecognized |technology
External |Dependencies |(services)
Services |that |represent |outgoing |calls |to |systems |that |aren't |monitored |in |the |environment.
Types |of |external |dependencies:
, 1 |- |calls |to |public |networks |(public |IPs/domains)
2 |- |calls |to |unmonitored |hosts |(internal |IP)
Service |flow
Provides |an |overview |of |all |services |and |queue |that |a |selected |service |makes |requests |to, |and |
the |time |spent |within |those |services.
When |would |a |service |flow |be |used:
* |understand |the |call |chain |sequence |of |a |service
* |view |all |the |response |time |contributors |for |a |service
* |view |affected |tiers |during |active |or |resolved |problems
Service |backtrace
Provides |the |upstream |view
When |would |use |service |backtrace:
* |understand |what |services |call |the |selected |service
* |analyze |the |performance |of |a |service |from |the |perspective |of |the |calling |clients
Custom |service
Service |that |has |a |manually |defined |method, |class |or |interface |as |its |entry |point.
Java, |.NET, |PHP, |Go |and |Node.js
Key |request |special |privileges
Always |baselined |by |AI
Custom |alerting |thresholds
Can |be |pinned |to |a |dashboard

Request |Attributes
key/value |pairs |that |are |associated |with |a |particular |service |request.
