Creating Monitoring Apps¶
The first step to monitoring with Sematext is to create a Monitoring App. Go to monitoring view, click on New Monitoring App button, select your integration and create monitoring App.
Follow along the Quick Start guide to learn how.
App Settings¶
App settings and actions include, but are not limited to:
- changing your App's plan
- managing alert rules

- inviting others to your App
- App ownership transfer
- setting up a Sematext Monitoring Agent to ship metrics
- scheduled report emails (aka Subscriptions)
Check out the Settings guide to learn more.
Reports And Components¶
Every Monitoring App can have multiple Reports that act as buckets for your metrics and data. The distinct metrics in one report are separated into components.
Read more in the Reports and Components guide.
Quickly start monitoring with Autodiscovery¶
The only thing you'll have to install is Sematext Agent. Then you can enable/disable monitoring of each discovered service type from the user interface. To learn more visit Service Autodiscovery. Of course, if you wish to have full control over what is monitored and avoid configuring things in the user interface, you can still do that. The Sematext Cloud UI will show you manual monitoring installation instructions as well.
Additional Features¶
To help you manage your metrics, hosts, and containers, and to help you create more useful dashboards, you can assign metadata to each host/server/container in the form of tags.
Check the Tags page for different ways to use tags.
The Network Map visualizes your network topology. It show discovered hosts and the communication between them, including details such as the amount of received or transmitted data on each port.
On-demand profiling lets you profile your own JVM-based applications or even any 3rd party JVM-based applications (e.g. Spark, Elasticsearch, Solr, Kafka, Hadoop, Storm, Cassandra, HBase, etc.). It works with both embedded and standalone agent and has negligible overhead.
You can create custom dashboards with real-time data that helps you understand important trends, summarize top values and view the frequency of conditions.
