Elastic’s Full-Suite, Hybrid and Multi-Cloud
Observability Solution Provides Customers with Frictionless
Application Performance Management and Infrastructure Performance
at Scale
- Providing deep visibility for cloud-native production
environments with zero-instrumentation and low overhead, with
always-on Universal Profiling™ in beta
- Introducing new capabilities to cloud- and developer-first
synthetic monitoring in beta
Elastic (NYSE: ESTC), the company behind Elasticsearch, today
announced new features and enhancements across its Elastic
Observability solution, enabling customers to gain deeper and more
frictionless visibility at all levels of applications, services,
and infrastructure.
Innovations across the Elastic Observability solution
include:
Providing effortless, deep visibility for cloud-native
production environments with zero instrumentation and low overhead,
with always-on Universal Profiling
Elastic’s new Universal Profiling capability, now in private
beta, provides visibility into how application code and
infrastructure are performing at all times in production, across a
wide range of languages, in both containerized and
non-containerized environments.
Modern cloud-native environments are increasingly complex,
creating infrastructure and application blind spots for DevOps and
SRE teams. Engineering teams typically use profiling to spot
performance bottlenecks and troubleshoot issues faster. However,
most profiling solutions have significant drawbacks limiting
adoption in production environments:
- Significant cost and performance overhead due to code
instrumentation
- Disruptive service restarts
- Inability to get visibility into third-party libraries
Universal Profiling is lightweight and requires zero
instrumentation. Enabled by eBPF-based technology, it overcomes the
limitations of other profiling solutions by requiring no changes to
the application code, making it easier to quickly identify
performance bottlenecks, improve time to resolve problems, and
reduce cloud costs.
The low overhead of Universal Profiling, less than 1% CPU
overhead, makes it possible to deploy in production environments to
deliver deep and broad visibility into infrastructure and
cloud-native application performance at scale.
For a production application running across a few hundred
servers, early results show code optimization savings of 10% to 20%
of CPU resources, resulting in cost savings and a reduction of CO2
emissions per year.
Introducing new capabilities to cloud- and developer-first
synthetic monitoring
Synthetic monitoring enables teams to proactively simulate user
interactions in applications to quickly detect user-facing
availability and performance issues and optimize the end-user
experience.
Designed to reduce manual and repetitive tasks for development
and operations teams, Elastic is introducing the beta of the
following innovative synthetic monitoring capabilities available
within the current Uptime application for Elastic Cloud
customers:
- A cloud-based global testing infrastructure that enables the
ability to schedule tests from an expanding global network of
synthetic monitors for better visibility into regional variances in
user experience.
- Automated creation of synthetic monitors during functional
testing when code is released to production. Creating, editing, and
deleting synthetic monitors entirely in code reduces the
inefficiency of duplicating functional tests.
- Deploying monitoring scripts via CI/CD pipelines to ensure
tests and applications are aligned.
- Running synthetics agent locally, making it easier to create
and debug monitoring scripts.
- A point-and-click script recorder, enabling non-technical users
to quickly create a user journey through an application and turn
that into a synthetic monitor. The recorder speeds up the process
of creating monitoring scripts for developers by providing a
framework that can be edited locally.
Additionally, a new and intuitive user interface to simplify
workflows and make it easier to identify and quickly troubleshoot
problems in production is currently under development and planned
for future availability.

Universal Profiling provides visibility into how application code
and infrastructure are performing at all times can be found
