Automatically discover, map, and monitor all your services in seconds with Universal Service Monitoring

What's this blog post about?

Universal Service Monitoring (USM) is a tool that automatically detects all services running on an infrastructure and monitors their golden signals to provide visibility into service health, performance, and dependencies without requiring any code changes. USM helps organizations track service dependencies using the Service Map, centralize knowledge of services with the Service Catalog, create alerts and SLOs for faster incident response, and troubleshoot issues more efficiently by leveraging logs, APM, and Database Monitoring. By providing RED metrics for all services, USM enables proactive monitoring and automatic cataloging of new and existing services to prevent observability gaps.
