Python Monitoring
Stop guessing why your Python apps are slow. Get real-time visibility into response times, database queries, and exceptions across Django, Flask, and FastAPI. Detect N+1 queries automatically and trace requests through distributed microservices.
Database Query Analysis & N+1 Detection
Visualize database call patterns with intuitive dashboards that surface delayed queries and high utilization. Automatically detect N+1 queries and duplicate database calls across ORMs like SQLAlchemy and Django ORM, then drill down to the exact code path causing slowdown.
- Detect N+1 queries in Django ORM and SQLAlchemy
- Identify duplicate and redundant database calls
- Monitor query execution times and patterns
- Track database connection pool utilization

Real-Time Performance Metrics
Track the four golden signals of monitoring - latency, throughput, error rates, and resource saturation. Monitor APDEX scores, average and percentile response times, error counts, and CPU or memory utilization to catch bottlenecks before they impact users.
- Monitor p95 and p99 latency percentiles
- Track throughput and transaction rates
- Measure APDEX scores and user satisfaction
- Monitor CPU, memory, and GC metrics

Distributed Tracing Across Microservices
Trace requests through your entire microservices architecture. Automatically propagate context across service boundaries and identify which service in your call chain is causing slow responses or errors.
- Track requests through multiple Python services
- Correlate errors across service boundaries
- Identify service dependencies and bottlenecks
- Monitor async tasks and background workers

FAQs on Python monitoring:
Which Python frameworks are supported?
+APM Insight supports popular Python frameworks such as Django, Flask, FastAPI, Pyramid, Bottle, Tornado, and other WSGI/ASGI-based frameworks with automatic instrumentation, enabling comprehensive performance monitoring without extensive manual configuration.
Can I monitor asynchronous Python applications?
+Yes. APM Insight monitors asynchronous Python applications by tracking async/await operations, asyncio tasks, and maintaining end-to-end context propagation across asynchronous execution flows for complete transaction visibility.
How can I detect N+1 queries in Django?
+APM Insight automatically detects N+1 query issues by analysing database query patterns for each transaction. It identifies redundant database calls originating from the same code path and pinpoints the exact source file and line number, making it easier to optimize query performance.
Does APM Insight support OpenTelemetry for Python applications?
+Yes. APM Insight natively supports OpenTelemetry by ingesting traces generated using the OpenTelemetry Python SDK, allowing you to adopt a vendor-neutral observability approach while maintaining complete application visibility.
Can I monitor Celery background tasks?
+Yes. APM Insight automatically monitors Celery background tasks by tracking execution time, failure rates, retry counts, and task queue depth, helping you identify bottlenecks and improve the reliability of asynchronous workloads.
What is the performance overhead of Python application monitoring?
+APM Insight typically introduces an application overhead of 3—8%, depending on your application's complexity and workload. For high-volume environments, configurable sampling options help minimise performance impact while preserving valuable monitoring insights.
