Metrics

[preview] This functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.

The Metrics overview provides APM agent-specific metrics, which lets you perform more in-depth root cause analysis investigations within the Applications UI.

If you’re experiencing a problem with your service, you can use this page to attempt to find the underlying cause. For example, you might be able to correlate a high number of errors with a long transaction duration, high CPU usage, or a memory leak.

If you’re using the Java APM agent, you can view metrics for each JVM.

Breaking down metrics by JVM makes it much easier to analyze the provided metrics: CPU usage, memory usage, heap or non-heap memory, thread count, garbage collection rate, and garbage collection time spent per minute.
