Detailed Comparison
collectd gathers statistics about the system it is running on and stores this information. Those statistics can then be used to find current performance bottlenecks (i.e. performance analysis) and predict future system load (i.e. capacity planning). Or if you just want pretty graphs of your private server and are fed up with some homegrown solution you're at the right place, too. | Kamon helps developers find and fix performance issues in Akka and Play Framework microservices. Kamon Telemetry is a battle tested free and open-source instrumentation library and Kamon APM is an easy-to-use APM with pre-built dashboards. |
