LM APM Overview

Last updated - 15 April, 2026

LM APM (Application Performance Monitoring) provides unified observability across metrics, traces, and synthetics, helping you troubleshoot modern applications faster.

Metrics

LM APM enables centralized monitoring and alerting through following metric ingestion methods:

• Push Metrics API and SDK—Send metrics directly to LogicMonitor without requiring a Collector. For more information, see Getting Started with Push Metrics.
• OpenMetrics Integration—Ingest metrics in OpenMetrics or Prometheus exposition format. For more information, see OpenMetrics DataSource.

Traces

LM APM supports distributed tracing using OpenTelemetry to do the following:

• Collect trace data from instrumented applications
• Track requests across distributed services
• View traces alongside related metrics and logs

For more information, see Getting Started with Distributed Tracing.

Synthetics

LM APM uses synthetic monitoring to simulate the following real user interactions:

• Scripted tests for key user journeys and transactions
• Measures availability and latency
• Detects issues before they impact end users

For more information, see LM Synthetics Overview.
