Question by Jannick T. · Sep 10, 2015 at 08:43 AM ·

What is the impact on the performance for our tablet/mobile app when using the Mobile ADK?

What is the impact on the performance for our tablet/mobile app when using the Mobile ADK?

1) Can we measure this?

2) Is there a good description what/how Dynatrace collects and sends information in the app itself? Can we limit the amount of Dynatrace's actions in the app?

3) Can we, in one way or another, Dynatrace (dynamic) drop off, without the tablet/mobile app should be gerepackaged and certified?

Jannick,

1) There's no way to explicitly measure the overhead on a mobile device, however many customers report 'negligible' performance impact.

2) Dynatrace's auto instrumentation collects certain key actions (page lifecycle events, user actions, outbound web Requests, etc). For each event key contextual information is collected and stored locally within the phone. Then at a convenient time, it is sent as a web request to the same URL being used by the app where the dynaTrace agent captures these 'dynatrace monitor' signals and forwards them to the associated dynaTrace Server. Automatic instrumentation can be controlled by settings as defined in the doc at the URL you listed above. Manual instrumentation can provide even more control over what is measured and not measured. This is a topic beyond the bounds of this forum.

3) Yes you can call the shutdown() method of the ADK anytime. Then re-initialize it as necessary using startupWithApplicationName(). However i worry this approach indicates a misunderstanding of how the agent works and I don't recommend this approach unless you've discussed it with one of the mobile experts.
