AppDynamics
Cisco's application performance monitoring with AI troubleshooting and agent monitoring.
About
Splunk AppDynamics, now part of Cisco, is an application performance monitoring platform for traditional three-tier and cloud-native applications. Cisco has layered agentic AI across it: AI troubleshooting agents that automatically analyze incidents and identify root causes, episode summarization for grouped alerts, and event correlation to cut incident noise.
Notably for AI developers, it now includes AI agent monitoring that tracks the performance, quality, security, and cost efficiency of AI agents and LLMs, plus AI infrastructure monitoring for the health and consumption of AI compute. The platform is converging with Splunk Observability Cloud and ThousandEyes for unified business-aware observability.
