1 Introduction to Application Performance Monitoring

Oracle Application Performance Monitoring is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) based solution that provides deep visibility into the performance of your application, from end user to application logs. The service integrates user experience information and application metrics along with log data analytics.

Overview
