Imagine this: your team rolls out a new update to your customer-facing web application. Everything seems fine at first with no errors and downtime; but users soon start reporting slower load times. You need clarity on whether the recent deployment caused it. This is where the Milestone Marker feature in ManageEngine Applications Manager’s APM Insight module comes in handy.

The Milestone Marker acts as a precise performance checkpoint, helping you mark and analyze the impact of every major change. Instead of scattered metrics or assumptions, it delivers focused insights tied to specific milestones; making performance evaluation precise and data-backed.

Key capabilities of the Milestone Marker feature:

1. Create and label performance milestones before or after deployments, configuration updates, or infrastructure changes to track impact precisely.
2. Automatically capture and analyze key metrics such as Apdex score, response time, throughput, request count, and error rate.
3. Compare performance deviations across milestones to identify improvements, regressions, or anomalies in real time.
4. Maintain up to 50 milestones per application for long-term performance tracking and historical reference.
   
   
   

1. Simplify troubleshooting and reporting by linking performance data to specific operational or release events.
2. Enable data-driven decision-making with clear visibility into application health trends and user experience outcomes.
