how to plot Pure path count on dashboard.
Hi All,
We are preparing some dashboards in which we already include the pure path duration with and without suspension. but we also want to include the total count for particular time, so can anybody help me to plot pure path count on dashboard.
Please Help.
Best Regards,
Jaydatt.
Hi Jaydatt,
You can chart the number of PurePaths very easily by using the "PurePath Duration" measure and change the aggregation to "Count" instead of avg/min/max/...

Hi Roman,
Thanks. I will try this one.

Hello Jaydatt,
You can also build a BT to do the count, then you can display the count as a total of the dashboard time-frame, or plot the values by time-slice. I have attached a screen shot of a dashboard that displays both ways, and the underlying BT used for the count.. I hope it helps. 
Hi All,
It's possible to get the count of the purepaths through creating a measure?
I want to create an Incident triggered by the number of purepaths equal to zero, I created a BT as Steve explain to count the number of purepaths, and when I configure the Incident to get the information from that BT the threshold persist the ms unit this refers to time of the purepath duration instead of the count of the purepaths.
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately this use case is not supported right now through measures. PurePath-based measures are always calculated on incoming PurePaths. If there is no PurePath in a certain time-interval you simply do not get a measure value -> that means you would not get the value 0 (zero).
We heard this request before to built-in the capability to measure "non existing things", e.g: no PurePaths coming in
If you could do me a favor: please post an enhancement request to this forum: Product Feedback and Enhancement Requests
Please also describe your exact use case (or maybe more than just one) - for such a measure
Thanks
Andi,
Thanks for your answer.

Hi. Just an FYI on this, We since have introduced a community plugin that will help with this use case. check out Measure Availability Plugin
I also have a need to count the transaction occurrences. This is equivalent to what other APM products might call "responses per interval". I want to see the number of pure paths processed by a jvm per unit of time. I can not find any way to change the aggregation on a pure path measure to "count". I tried to create a new measure, but essentially ran into the same problem. I tried creating a business transaction, where I was able to change the aggregation, but it won't show up in my chart. Is there any way to do this? I thought I had something like it operating in version 5.0, but it's been a long time ago.
Never mind, I figured this out. The secret to understanding it is realizing the aggregation is not maintained as part of the metric, but rather with the metric display. It's in the 'series' of the dashlet, for example, or in the incident measure assignment.
