Method Calls in Count in dT
Please confirm in a pure path if some methods are call multiple time can we get the count ?
Indira,
It depends. A PurePath doesn't include every single method executed by a transaction, so if you want to count calls to a particular method, you have to tell Dynatrace to keep track using a method sensor.
With that proviso, yes, you can get the count of method calls. What you do next depends on what you want to do with the count. If you just want to know the count for a single transaction or set of transactions, adding a method sensor is all you'll have to do. If you want to do more – such as chart the count – you'll need to create a measure.
Both sensors and measures are created in the system profile.

Thanks Graeme, will create measure and count the method call.
But Application team wants to see that call in the pure-path itself, that not possible right..
Something like this..
Indira,
The method calls will certainly appear in the PurePath itself, and you can find them in the PurePath using control-F (for find) in the lower pane of the PurePath dashboard.
If you want a summary like that (which comes from a competing product, yes?) you can drill down from one or more PurePaths to the Methods dashlet, which will give you a count and performance data for all methods collected via method sensors.
You can also drill down from one or more PurePaths to the Methods Hotspots dashboard and get a stack walkback for the most expensive methods (i.e., the "hotspots").
In general, we can do better at addressing the underlying requirements than we can duplicating a specific data layout.
