Monitor an App's Performance

With Kony Visualizer, you can conduct application performance monitoring (APM) so that you can evaluate the performance of your app and use the feedback as the basis for improving its performance. This topic only covers how to activate APM in Kony Visualizer. Capturing events and tracing the user journey through an app is handled by Kony Fabric. For more information on customizing and using APM, refer Kony Fabric Reporting and Analytics.

Note: From Kony Visualizer V8 SP4 Fixpack 20 onwards, APM events are supported in Kony Visualizer. However, APM is not supported for the Run Live Preview and Publish Live Preview features in Kony Visualizer.
