Pinpoint

Application performance management tool that traces transactions across distributed applications, with agents for Java, PHP and Python, and charts their topology.

Pinpoint is an application performance management tool for large distributed systems. It traces transactions across distributed applications, with agents for Java, PHP and Python, and charts their topology. A Java agent is attached to each monitored application with a JVM argument, and it reports to a collector.

The collector and the web component are Java applications that the install guide says are deployed on a web container. Their data is stored in HBase, and metric and statistics data in Pinot.

Worth knowing

The install guide names HBase and Pinot as storage, MySQL for Web configuration and Kafka for the Pinot ingestion path, so a self-hosted instance is several services rather than a single program.
