Apache SkyWalking

SkyWalking: an APM(application performance monitor) system, especially designed for microservices, cloud native and container-based architectures.

Abstract

SkyWalking is an open source APM system, including monitoring, tracing, diagnosing capabilities for distributed system in Cloud Native architecture.

• Distributed Tracing
  • End-to-end distributed tracing. Service topology analysis, service-centric observability and APIs dashboards.
• Agents for your stack
  • Java, .Net Core, PHP, NodeJS, Golang, LUA, Rust, C++, Client JavaScript and Python agents with active development and maintenance.
• eBPF early adoption
  • Rover agent works as metrics collector and profiler powered by eBPF to diagnose CPU and network performance.
• Scaling
  • 100+ billion telemetry data could be collected and analyzed from one SkyWalking cluster.
• Mature Telemetry Ecosystems Supported
  • Metrics, Traces, and Logs from mature ecosystems are supported, e.g. Zipkin, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Zabbix, Fluentd
• Native APM Database
  • BanyanDB, an observability database, created in 2022, aims to ingest, analyze and store telemetry/observability data.
• Consistent Metrics Aggregation
  • SkyWalking native meter format and widely known metrics format(OpenCensus, OTLP, Telegraf, Zabbix, e.g.) are processed through the same script pipeline.
• Log Management Pipeline
  • Support log formatting, extract metrics, various sampling policies through script pipeline in high performance.
• Alerting and Telemetry Pipelines
  • Support service-centric, deployment-centric, API-centric alarm rule setting. Support forwarding alarms and all telemetry data to 3rd party.
