What Logz.io APM is
Logz.io APM is a cloud application-performance monitoring service for distributed cloud applications. It combines distributed tracing and metrics, correlating them with logs to support investigation across microservices. Trace data is aggregated into R.E.D. metrics, while service maps, overviews, and transaction drilldowns help examine latency and possible root causes. Real user monitoring analyzes key interactions, and synthetic monitoring simulates user behavior across cloud services. Cross-platform alerts notify teams when services falter. OpenTelemetry instrumentation, including automatic instrumentation, can send traces through the native Logz.io exporter. Deployments can be mapped onto performance dashboards to relate releases to system health. Listed ecosystems include AWS, Azure, GCP, Prometheus, Telegraf, JavaScript, Java, Node.js, Go, Python, and Ruby on Rails. Span retention defaults to ten days. Pricing starts at $0.16 a month per 1 million spans per day for aws-us-east, billed annually, with a 14-day trial and no free plan.
