What is Akka?

Akka is an open-source toolkit and runtime written in Scala. Akka simplifies the construction of concurrent and distributed applications on the JVM.

Dynatrace monitors and analyzes the activity of your Akka-based applications, providing visibility down to individual database statements.

Visualize service requests end-to-end within your Akka apps

Dynatrace detects your applications’ transactions from end-to-end and shows the actual execution of each service through our Service flow.
Get CPU hotspot analysis for background threads

Dynatrace shows you where your Akka applications consume CPU in background threads, schedulers, or other proprietary services.
Understand the impact of issues on customer experience

While monitoring your Akka apps, Dynatrace learns the details of your entire application architecture automatically.

Take a deep dive into your Akka application

In under five minutes the Dynatrace OneAgent automatically discovers your entire Akka application. Dynatrace monitors and analyzes the database activities of your Akka applications, providing you with visibility all the way down to individual SQL and NoSQL statements. Just a few of the performance metrics you will see on your Dynatrace dashboard:

JVM metrics
Custom JMX metrics
Garbage collection metrics
All database statements
All requests
Suspension rate
All dependencies

Start monitoring your Akka apps in under 5 minutes!

In under five minutes, Dynatrace shows you CPU, memory, and network health metrics all the way down to the process level.

Manual configuration of your monitoring setup is no longer necessary.
Auto-detection starts monitoring new virtual machines as they are deployed.
Dynatrace is the only solution that shows you process-specific network metrics.

Visualize all service requests end-to-end in your Akka apps

Dynatrace understands your applications’ transactions from end-to-end. Service flow shows the actual execution of each individual service and service-request type. While Smartscape shows you your overall environment topology, Service flow provides you with the view point of a single service or service-request type.
