[Phobos visualizes how Akka.NET actors interact with other parts of your .NET applications, such as ASP.NET](https://phobos.petabridge.com/articles/captured-data.html#trace-data) , RabbitMQ, Kafka, and more - by using the OpenTracing standard. In this instance, a user is visualizing their Phobos traces using Jaeger, an open source tracing platform originally developed by Uber.

Phobos automatically captures critical events such as messages being processed, logs event, actor spawns, actor crashes, and other key metrics in order to give you visibility into how well your Akka.NET-enabled applications perform at scale.

[Phobos collects valuable and useful metrics from your Akka.NET actors](https://phobos.petabridge.com/articles/captured-data.html#metric-data) and makes that data available for immediate monitoring, alerts, and data visualization through the use of popular platforms such as Prometheus, Grafana, StatsD, Application Insights, and more.
