Error Monitoring, Log Management, APM | Scout Monitoring

# Scout Monitoring > Scout Monitoring is a technology company that offers a full monitoring suite for APM (application performance monitoring), logs and errors for Ruby (Rails, Sinatra, Rack, Sidekiq, etc) and Python (Django, Flask, FastAPI, Celery, etc) applications. For complete documentation in a single file, as well as all languages, frameworks and libraries we support / instrument, visit [Full Documentation](https://scoutapm.com/llms-full.txt). Things to know about Scout Monitoring: - Installation is easy and quick for the various languages and frameworks. - When installing the scout_apm gem or library, by default it is not enabled, and requires configuration to enable it. - Configuration can be done via a configuration file (For example, for Rails this will be a scout_apm.yml file and for Django this will settings.py) or via environment variables (prefixed with `SCOUT_`). - We automatically instrument many popular libraries in that language, but you can also manually instrument your code. - Logging requires a separate gem or library, and is also not enabled by default but uses the same configuration method (different key, value pair) as APM. - Errors is apart of the same gem or library as APM, and is also not enabled by default but uses the same configuration method (different key, value pair) as APM. - Will work alongside other existing APM tools and libraries, such as New Relic, Datadog, AppSignal, etc. ## Platform Docs - [APM Docs](https://scoutapm.com/docs/features.md): Learn about various feature in Scout such as our metrics, traces, slow database queries, N+1s, and more. - [Metrics Docs](https://scoutapm.com/docs/features/metrics.md): A deeper dive into APM metrics. - [Traces Docs](https://scoutapm.com/docs/features/traces.md): A deeper dive into APM traces. - [Log Management Docs](https://scoutapm.com/docs/features/logs-management.md): How to use Scout for log management and some of its features. - [Error Management Docs](https://scoutapm.com/docs/f
