Java Integration
Collect Java metrics and distributed traces with Guance DataKit in minutes. One-click setup, 40+ key metrics, full documentation.
The Guance Java integration captures RED metrics and distributed traces via the standard ddtrace-compatible or OpenTelemetry agent — attach it with one JVM flag, no code changes. GC pauses, thread-pool saturation, and slow spans land in the same view, so latency investigations start from evidence, not guesses. Sampling strategy and alert thresholds are covered in the APM guide below.
