User Action Monitoring

Hi Richard,

For this use case you should use a "Server-Side PurePath" type Business Transaction rather than a "User Action" Business Transaction

Also - if you want to split by JSessionID then I am not sure you really want to put your Business Transaction on the Application Overview. Why? Because every visitor gets a new unique JSessionID and therefore baselining on this rather "dynamic" measure wouldnt really work.

You want to baseline on something that only produces "a handful" of different split values. For instance part of the URI, e.g: "/shop/mycart", "/shop/products", ...

If you want to find individual users by their JSession ID you can of course still create a Business Tranaction that splits by JSessionID. BUT - please make sure to uncheck the box "Store Results in Performance Warehouse". Why? Because you really only need this BT to locate PurePaths that have a certain Split value but you dont want to chart e.g: the response time of a specific JSessionID over the last month or year -> this wouldnt make any sense anyway because you would end up having millions of JSessionIDs over that period of time and each individual one would only produce values for the time of the visit

I hope this makes sense.

Hi,

Thank you very much for the responses

@Richard, I have considered the server side purepath but the problem with this is that it creates so many splittings that include every page object as well, which is irrelevant as the use case requires only the pages (user action URL's) not each object which is like a lot of different file formats and excluding each one using a regular expression has proven quite tedious as there are so many ones in use on the site.

@Andreas, sorry i think I might have caused some confusion I am not splitting by jsession id I am grouping by jsession ID so that it does not split by session but instead groups them under one splitting.

Thanks

Richard
