Pinpoint is an APM (Application Performance Management) tool for large-scale distributed systems written in Java. Inspired by Dapper, Pinpoint provides a solution to help analyze the overall structure of the system and how components within them are interconnected by tracing transactions across distributed applications.
- Install agents without changing a single line of code
- Minimal impact on performance (approximately 3% increase in resource usage)
We're happy to announce the release of Pinpoint v1.7.1. Please check the release note at (https://github.com/naver/pinpoint/releases/tag/1.7.1).
The current stable version is v1.7.1.
We now have a plugin development guide. Yay!
Services nowadays often consist of many different components, communicating amongst themselves as well as making API calls to external services. How each and every transaction gets executed is often left as a blackbox. Pinpoint traces transaction flows between these components and provides a clear view to identify problem areas and potential bottlenecks.
For a more intimate guide, please check out our Introduction to Pinpoint video clip.
-
ServerMap - Understand the topology of any distributed systems by visualizing how their components are interconnected. Clicking on a node reveals details about the component, such as its current status, and transaction count.
-
Realtime Active Thread Chart - Monitor active threads inside applications in real-time.
-
Request/Response Scatter Chart - Visualize request count and response patterns over time to identify potential problems. Transactions can be selected for additional detail by dragging over the chart.
-
CallStack - Gain code-level visibility to every transaction in a distributed environment, identifying bottlenecks and points of failure in a single view.
-
Inspector - View additional details on the application such as CPU usage, Memory/Garbage Collection, TPS, and JVM arguments.

There may be agents, and plugins that are being developed and managed by other individuals/organizations. Please take a look here for the list and see if you would like to help out in their development.
You may run a sample Pinpoint instance in your own machine by running four simple scripts for each components: Collector, Web, Sample TestApp, HBase.
Once the components are running, you should be able to visit http://localhost:28080 to view the Pinpoint Web UI, and http://localhost:28081 to generate transactions on the Sample TestApp.
For details, please refer to the quick-start guide.
To set up your very own Pinpoint instance, please download the required binaries from our latest release. Please take a look at our installation guide for further instructions.
Building (Optional)
You may also choose to build pinpoint from source for various reasons including plugin development. However, our master branch is also our development branch so stability is not always guaranteed, so we recommend downloading and running the binaries from our stable releases if you are simply looking to run pinpoint.
Regardless, if you would like to build pinpoint from source, you will need the following:
- JDK 6 installed (jdk1.6.0_45 recommended)
- JDK 7 installed (jdk1.7.0_80 recommended)
- JDK 8 installed
- JAVA_6_HOME environment variable set to JDK 6 home directory.
- JAVA_7_HOME environment variable set to JDK 7 home directory.
- JAVA_8_HOME environment variable set to JDK 8 home directory.

We would love to see additional tracing support for libraries such as Storm, HBase, as well as profiler support for additional languages (.NET, C++).
The web module has google analytics attached that tracks the number and the order of button clicks in the server map, transaction list, and the inspector view.
This data is used to better understand how users interact with the Web UI which gives us valuable information in improving Pinpoint Web's user experience. To disable this for any reason, set the following option to false in pinpoint-web.properties for your web instance.
