APM & Tracing
The APM & Tracing section in KloudMate gives you end-to-end visibility into how requests travel across your services, along with service-level health and dependency analysis.
Core Concepts
Section titled “Core Concepts”- APM Views is service-centric. Use it to compare latency, throughput, error rate, and dependencies across services.
- Trace Explorer is request-centric. Use it to search, filter, and find a specific trace.
- Trace Detail is where you inspect one trace — the timeline waterfall, per-span detail, and the Service List, Request Flow, and AI Flow views.
Start in APM Views when you need higher-level service health and dependency analysis. Move to Trace Explorer to find the trace you care about, then open it in Trace Detail to find the root cause.
Instrumentation Paths
Section titled “Instrumentation Paths”KloudMate supports multiple ways to generate APM and tracing data:
- KloudMate Agent eBPF Observability for kernel-level tracing and RED metrics without code changes or restarts
- Auto Instrumentation for the preferred Kubernetes APM flow through the KloudMate Agent
- Manual Instrumentation for SDK-based tracing, application metrics, and custom metrics with the most control.
