These can be individual user requests, background jobs, API calls, or any unit of work that your application processes. AppDynamics APM monitors these business transactions to provide detailed performance data.

External Services and Database in AppDynamics

External services in AppDynamics refer to third-party APIs and databases that are not part of your core application but are essential for its functionality. These include various third-party services like Slack channels, APIs, other external integrations, and databases.

Temperstack enhances AppDynamics' capabilities by automatically identifying and fetching information about all external services and databases that your application interacts with. This information is displayed in the External Services section of AppDynamics, providing a comprehensive view of all third-party interactions and database operations.

Key metrics monitored for both external services and databases
