GO Applications And Dynatrace

Adapting to change is the part of contemporary software development. It is vital to understand the significance of Dynatrace in monitoring GO Applications. GO can be called Golang, native open source language developed by Ken Thompson created at Google. It is aimed at bringing about the best of other languages and helps overcome their shortcomings. It is a statically typed language combined with concurrent programming attributes and many more features. This feature is used by home automation companies in Chennai to power their smart gadgets. GO is targets platforms like smartphones. GO is used by Netflix, Uber, Dropbox, Google and SoundCloud, as of Docker it is completely written in GO.

Monitoring GO Executions

Monitoring GO Application is crucial because though the GO code is simple, the application is executed whenever a check in happens. There are many things that can go wrong, for instance triggering of wrong builds due to configuration mistakes, malfunctioning due to a bug and more. The solution would be to log things that go wrong, again this would be high volume task as the log output build up every minute. This is not just huge but also confusing and needs a professional log analytics to coordinate errors.

The advantage of using Dynatrace AppMon helps troubleshooting the problems easily without the need for logs. PurePath Technology captures parameters and returns errors. To identify the errors, the PurePaths can be filters using VCS revision number along with corrupted outputs in a Business Transaction.

Dynatrace and GO App

Download the free trial run of Dynatrace AppMon and monitor GO application. Once the 30 day Trial span is over you can still use it to analyze local apps for free for life.

Measuring GO Applications

Using the Native ADK create PurePath, capture parameter, exceptions, log entries, return values and more. Find majority of functions you need in the nativeAdkFunctions.c and nativeAdkFunctions.h. The constants file can be edited along with the API found in the header file. Moreover, the essential information on the functions is found in Native ADK documentation. You can use the ADK functions naturally instead of using the macros.

Troubleshooting process

In case of corrupted paths and timeouts it is crucial to check if the placeSensor() and exitSensor() are corresponding and in the right context. It is the same for uninitializeAgent() and initializeAgent(). Sometimes the tags are lost as GO switches threads on its own.

The GO is increasing especially Google is a well structured language giving the flexibility to write applications irrespective of complexity and is sure to replace C programs in the near future. Text editors and Multiple IDEs support GO making it easier for developers.
