Overview

Automai’s Application Performance Monitoring (APM) enhances enterprise application reliability by continuously simulating real user interactions via robotic automation. Designed to monitor critical business processes across GUIs — including thin‑client desktop, web, and virtualized environments — it tracks each workflow step, captures response times, and proactively alerts teams before user impact occurs. The system delivers detailed transaction insight, failure screenshots, and performance analytics from the end-user perspective, empowering IT and DevOps professionals to optimize performance and swiftly address issues.

Features and Capabilities

• Robotic end‑user emulation: Runs multiple bots executing real workflows via front-end interfaces (Citrix, AVD, web apps), with no API or server installation required.
• Transaction-level metrics: Measures response time for each step in a process, generating granular performance data.
• Failure capture & reporting: Automatically screenshots UI on error, facilitating effective troubleshooting and communication.
• Centralized management console: ScenarioBuilder, Director, BotManager, and Reporter components allow you to create, orchestrate, execute, and analyze monitoring bots.
• Configurable alerting: Triggers notifications when BOT response times exceed thresholds.
• Reusable, low-maintenance scripts: GUI-recorded scenarios; easy editing (retry, re-capture images), reusable components improve maintenance.
• Scalable bot deployment: Supports hundreds to thousands of bots via BotManager and Director, simulating distributed desktop load.
• Cross-platform compatibility: Works with any UI technology — thin/fat clients, web front ends, virtual desktop environments.
• Actionable analytics: Reports and dashboards visualize bottlenecks, user-experience degradation, and performance trends.
• Unified platform approach: Leverages existing Automai scripts to support performance testing, monitoring, functional testing, and RPA.
