Get started

Ensure that your platform and application components are supported.

Instrumentation for the ruby language and ruby on rails framework is provided as a gem called appoptics_apm. The appoptics_apm gem is hosted on RubyGems, making installation as simple as: gem install appoptics_apm.

Our ruby extension gets detailed insights out-of-the-box without any code modification. For a list of instrumented gems and components see platform support.

See install for installation instructions for Ruby and different frameworks like Rails, Sinatra, Padrino, and Grape.

Custom instrumentation

If you have code or a library that is not on the platform support list, use our SDK to customize.

Navigation Notice: When the APM Integrated Experience is enabled, AppOptics shares a common navigation and enhanced feature set with other integrated experience products. How you navigate AppOptics and access its features may vary from these instructions.
