Tiivistelmä
This thesis was started from the request of a mobile game company in Helsinki, who has been developing a web application for their internal use for a few years. At the time right before conducting this thesis, the company was in need of a tool to monitor the application’s performance and users in real-time.
The goal of the thesis was to find and implement a monitoring tool for the company’s internal web application. The tool must be able to meet the company’s requirement of providing data about the application’s daily use, API calls, errors, and other difficulties that users may encounter.
The search for a suitable monitoring tool begun in March 2020. After Datadog’s Real User Monitoring tool was chosen and configured, the data of the application that was collected in two weeks from 07 April to 22 April was analyzed for discussion in this thesis. The thesis was completed in May 2020.
From the results of the two-week monitoring period, the application showed good performance generally, but there were some abnormal behaviors in a few days. Besides, Datadog’s Real User Monitoring tool proved to be helpful in monitoring the application’s performance, users and in detecting anomalies.
