C++ Profiler Tools & Performance Monitoring Solutions

Deliver an exceptional user experience with proactive C/C++ application performance monitoring. Identify and resolve issues with an in-depth end-to-end visibility and transaction tracing across complex and highly distributed environments.



C++ Profilers vs. APM

Code profilers allow developers to investigate performance issues without altering code. A C++ profiler collects and displays execution data. Although profilers offer code-level visibility, developers need to know the type of problem they are seeking in order to pinpoint a root cause, making profilers a less comprehensive monitoring solution.

APM monitors C/C++ application performance with a focus on business transactions and takes a more proactive approach to identifying and resolving issues, in even the most complex and distributed environments.



Maximize visibility with transaction and backend reporting

The AppDynamics agent SDK for C/C++ allows you to discover application topology and interdependencies with a comprehensive view of your application, infrastructure, and business transaction performance. With the addition of a few API calls to the source code, the SDK offers automatic application topology discovery, response times and insightful metrics on transactions.



Monitor at maximum depth with minimal overhead

Preserve resources while maximizing scalability with the ability to monitor every transaction while only creating troubleshooting snapshots of anomalies. Instrument the source code to add relevant details and data to transaction snapshots for actionable insights. Improve productivity and understand performance with automated dynamic baselines and alerting that helps minimize false alarms.



Enhance platform extensibility and expand monitoring coverage

Consolidate performance monitoring across complex and distributed environments. The AppDynamics Agent SDK for C/C++ correlates with applications developed in a broad range of popular programming languages and frameworks including Java, .NET, Node.js, PHP, and Python for optimal compatibility. Monitor calls to back-end systems such as databases, message queues, and web services. Flexible deployment options include SaaS, on-premises or hybrid environments.

Benefits of using
AppDynamics for
C++ APM

Improve monitoring performance

A C and C++ performance monitoring improves the quality of applications by identifying bottlenecks, memory leaks, and slow, unused, or resource-intensive code. Streamline the troubleshooting process by automating the resolution of performance issues and gain a better understanding of your system with real time monitoring of memory and resource allocation.
