Frequently Asked Questions
What is a trace volume add-on?
A trace volume add-on for application performance monitoring (APM) increases the amount of trace data your system can ingest and analyze. This is crucial for applications that generate a high volume of transactions or have complex execution paths.
Who typically needs this add-on?
Organizations with high-traffic applications, complex microservices architectures, or those requiring very granular performance insights often need additional trace volume capacity beyond standard licensing.
How does this license differ from the base APM Enterprise Edition?
The base APM Enterprise Edition provides core APM capabilities. This add-on specifically increases the data ingestion capacity for traces, allowing for more extensive monitoring and analysis than the base license alone might permit.
