Intercept Studio 4
Overview
AVIcode Intercept Studio
AVIcode Intercept Studio is the only .NET application
monitoring solution designed to protect software
investments throughout the application lifecycle.
Whether used in development, QA, or production,
Intercept Studio simplifies the detection, diagnosis,
and resolution of application problems by automatically
monitoring software for performance degradations, code
failures, and security and connectivity issues. When
errors are detected, Intercept Studio automatically
collects and reports their root causes, in real-time, to
the appropriate personnel.
Concurrent Monitoring
Intercept Studio is the only in-production monitoring
solution capable of detecting and diagnosing both
performance issues and code problems simultaneously.
When an issue is detected, Intercept Studio
automatically categorizes the event into a logical
aspect group and generates an alert with complete root
cause diagnosis. Concurrent monitoring delivers a
complete view of .NET application behavior on any
computer, whether you are monitoring a networked server
or a disconnected desktop.
"Always on" monitoring
Unlike many monitoring technologies that place heavy
burdens on system resources, Intercept Studio is a low
overhead solution that is uniquely suited for always on
monitoring. In fact, Intercept Studio can be used
throughout the application lifecycle – in development,
QA, staging, and production – without incurring
significant performance degradation.
Intercept Studio captures events as they occur, and
correlates those events with system and framework
performance counters, providing a better understanding
of how application problems and system performance
relate. The ability to collect and correlate this
information in an always on manner enables advanced root
cause diagnostics and critical insight into system and
process level information.
Leverage existing instrumentation investments
Approximately 30% of application development time is
spent on instrumentation – error handling and logging
components. Despite the dedication of significant
resources to instrumentation, it can be a tedious
process to manually analyze error logs and identify
application problem areas. Intercept Studio alleviates
this difficulty by integrating with custom event/error
logs – creating a single, unified format for viewing and
correlating all application events.
Root cause analysis
Rather than relying upon end users and
interdepartmental efforts to identify and resolve
application errors, Intercept Studio automatically
identifies the precise cause of application errors and
delivers actionable "root cause" information to the
appropriate team for immediate diagnosis. This
eliminates traditional finger pointing, reduces costs,
and ensures rapid error resolution.
Accelerate error resolution times
Analysts estimate that more than two-thirds of the
total cost of an application, over the application's
lifetime, is spent on maintenance and troubleshooting.
The largest contributor to this expense is "error
detection and resolution". Isolating, identifying, and
resolving an application error typically requires the
time and resources of multiple departments spanning
Operations, Support, and Development.
Intercept Studio's "always on" application monitoring frees
organizations from relying upon end users to report
application errors. In addition, Support and Development
departments no longer have to painstakingly recreate
errors in an attempt to identify their underlying
causes. Instead, Intercept Studio bypasses the manual
error discovery process by automatically capturing
errors and their root causes in real-time. This allows
organizations to rapidly isolate and resolve errors
–dramatically saving time and money.
Reduce risk throughout the application lifecycle
Intercept Studio's standardized platform for monitoring
applications and collecting root-cause information
allows organizations to achieve efficiencies and realize
cost savings throughout the application lifecycle.
During design and development cycles, Intercept Studio
facilitates on-time, on-budget application delivery by
reducing schedule risks due to unplanned error
resolution and instrumentation requirements.
During deployment and production, Intercept Studio
provides proactive application error detection and
diagnosis. Moreover, Intercept Studio's "always on"
monitoring reduces application down-time risk and
maximizes application availability and reliability.
