Glowroot

Lightweight Java application performance monitoring

About Glowroot

Glowroot is a Java APM tool that traces transactions, SQL queries, and errors so developers can find application bottlenecks quickly. It is typically installed on Linux servers or containers and administered through configuration files, a CLI, or a built-in web interface. That makes it a practical fit for homelab users, small teams, and organizations that value privacy, ownership, and predictable costs over time.
