Try out Instabug APM
If you are already using Instabug, but APM isn't included in your current plan, please reach out to us at [email protected]. We would love to enable a custom trial for you and help you set it up.
Min Required SDK Version
APM is supported starting Android SDK version 10.0.0.
Supported Metrics
APM Footprint
We're taking several measures to make sure Instabug APM is resource-friendly. To minimize its impact on the device's battery and data consumption:
- The SDK collects your performance data and sends it in batches, at most, once every 6 hours.
- The SDK doesn't perform any network operations while the app is in the background.
- This means, data collected by APM is sent to the server at the beginning of a session if the last server communication took place more than 6 hours ago.
The default 6-hour interval can be bypassed by enabling Debug Mode which you can use to visualize your data with almost no delay; this can be very useful in case you're still evaluating our SDK as well as help debug issues with your integration.
Data Retention
By default, APM data is retained for 30 days on all plans. This is customizable on the Premium plan.
Why APM?
In the field, your app goes through a wide range of different user scenarios, cellular networks, signal conditions, device types, as well as locations. This is when unexpected performance issues happen.
Instabug App Performance Monitoring (APM) is built to provide you with insights about how your app is performing on your end-users' devices and hence shaping their experience.
