Apache SkyWalking
SkyWalking: an APM(application performance monitor) system, especially designed for
microservices, cloud native and container-based (Docker, Kubernetes, Mesos) architectures.
Abstract
SkyWalking is an open source APM system, including monitoring, tracing, diagnosing capabilities for distributed system
in Cloud Native architecture.
The core features are following.
Service, service instance, endpoint metrics analysis
Root cause analysis. Profile the code on the runtime
Service topology map analysis
Service, service instance and endpoint dependency analysis
Slow services and endpoints detected
Performance optimization
Distributed tracing and context propagation
Database access metrics. Detect slow database access statements(including SQL statements)
Alarm
Browser performance monitoring
Infrastructure(VM, network, disk etc.) monitoring
Collaboration across metrics, traces, and logs
SkyWalking supports to collect telemetry (metrics, traces, and logs) data from multiple sources
and multiple formats,
including
Java, .NET Core, NodeJS, PHP, and Python auto-instrument agents.
Go and C++ SDKs.
LUA agent especially for Nginx, OpenResty.
Browser agent.
Service Mesh Observability. Control panel and data panel.
Metrics system, including Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, Spring Sleuth(Micrometer).
Logs.
Zipkin v1/v2 and Jaeger gRPC format with limited topology and metrics analysis.(Experimental).
SkyWalking OAP is using the STAM(Streaming Topology Analysis Method) to analysis topology in the tracing based agent scenario
for better performance. Read the paper of STAM for more details.
