## Summary
Micro Focus, which purchased the software business unit of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, has APM, or Application Performance Monitoring, that has both on-premise technologies and SaaS-based offerings.  APM is a tool that offers client-monitoring, native mobile performance, and deep-level application server diagnostics. APM measures end-user experience by executing controlled, repeatable transactions from multiple locations both inside and outside the firewall, identifying availability and performance issues.
        
GitLab has a powerful monitoring capability with Prometheus, a time-series monitoring service, providing a flexible platform for monitoring GitLab and other software products. GitLab provides out of the box monitoring with Prometheus, providing easy access to high quality time-series monitoring of GitLab services.  GitLab has built-in monitoring that can automatically monitor your deployed applications, with extensive support for native cloud, container, and microservices technology.  Additionally, Gitlab uses Jaeger, an open source end-to-end distributed tracing system used for monitoring and troubleshooting microservices-based distributed systems.
