Web Request Dashlet and Measure
Hi,
I have a little problem understanding the web request time measure.
I want to get some historical graphs for reporting for some webrequests from the Web Request Dashlet. My understanding is, that I need a measure for it in this case.
I used the webrequest time measure, but when I compare the two values they are completely different.
On the left there are the measure from my measure and on the right you see the oob dashlet. Both uses the same filter.
What do I have to do to get the same values? Why am I not possible to drill down to PurePaths by using the measures.
Hope you can help me,
Jan
Hi,
Could it be that you have created the measures later than the time frame that you cover with the dashboard? You only get data for a measure after you have created it.

Hi,
this is not the reason. 
The filter was set to 5 minutes and the measures have been created half an hour before.

Can you set the time frame not to the last 5 minutes but the 5-10 minutes before? and additionally show the count in the charts on the left? The thing is that you are looking at 2 different data sources - on the Web Request dashlet you see the data from the continuous session storage so you are looking at the actual PurePath data. this data is calculated on demand when you query the time frame whereas on the left charts you are looking at Performance Warehouse data which is written into the Performance Warehouse every minute. There should not be a big difference but if you look at small time frames with the last option this could happen.

Well, I already realized for other measures, that there was a small difference between PurePath and PW, but in this case, the difference is too high and in most cases, there are no data captured.
When I got you right, the two data should be the same, so that my assumption was correct. So, there must be an error in my measure evaluation.
Can it depend to the point, that the web requests are not entry points?
