Start purepath for Pages only
Is there a way to only start PurePaths for Pages like .aspx or Web Service call to .svc and exclude all the sub requests for resource requests like png,css,js etc
I would like to reduce the number of PurePaths and hence the size of the session and was wondering if this will help.
Actually what i want was to have it on both but not to start the Purepath with the excluded URLs.
I actually was aware of this as we are monitoring .Net environment where both IIS and .NET physically exist on the server node and figured this out when even after mapping it to the same Agent Group ,in the transaction flow appeared as two separate tiers with the same name which was confusing.
If you have UEM (User Experience Management) then you still get the User Action PurePath. But if you exclude the URLS on the Web Server or ASP.NET Sensor you simply dont get the server-side PurePaths. I think thats what you want - correct?
One tip though: you said that you have Web Server and ASP.NET in the same Agent Group/Tier. Best Practice is to separate that into two Tiers. Why? Because logically these are two different tiers that you also want to see separate in your Transaction Flow.
Makes sense?
Thanks Andreas,
Actually my .NET Application agent and the Web Server Agent is mapped to the same group and my understanding which you can correct is that if i exclude ,they wont appear even inside a (User Action)Purepath right?
In my case i would like to know what is the load time for a particular resource but would not want to just start the Purepath for resources.
Thats possible by excluding certain URLs from starting a PurePath in your Servlet, ASP.NET or Web Server Sensor
Open your System Profile and click on Sensor Configuration for the Tier that starts your PurePaths (e.g: Web Server or AppServer Tier). In that list search for the Servlet, ASP.NET or Web Server Sensors (that depends on the type of tier). Click on properties and check out the top list in that dialog. You can either specify to only start purepath for certain urls or start for any URL but EXCLUDE some URLs
Hope this helps
