Hi,
I would like to show the Gomez statistic in a dashboard, I have set up measurements of real user page loads the same as our synthetic tests do. Is is just a case of enabling the Gomez APM Integration or should I create measurements / BT's specifically for clientfamily 'gomez agent'?

Ah ok – that makes sense.
Cheers guys, once we have zero skipped purepaths I will revisit this.

Hi Matt
There is a business transaction called "Synthetic Web Requests By Timer Name". It splits the PurePaths based on the Timer Name passed in by Gomez. A second BT that is created specificially for the Gomez Integration is called "Gomez Convergence Load Test Web Server Time". A business transaction automatically calculates Failure Rate for each split value. So - you can e.g: chart the Failure Rate of one of these BTs - or you can see the failure rate through the Business Transaction Dashlet when looking at this BT.
And there is more - the Tagged Web Requests Dashlet that is also used in the Load Test Overview Dashboard also shows failure rate PER Timer Name or Script Name
If you dont see all data there are two explanations
a) you either dont TAG all requests executed by your testing tool
b) your dT environment is overloaded -> this can be seen in the dynaTrace Server Health Dashboards -> look out for Skipped PurePaths

Hi Matt,
The failure rate in dynaTrace refers to errors on the server side and does not necessarily reflect the availability from Gomez.

Hi,
I got this working.. just a couple of questions - the pade load times I am seeing are higher than thru Gomez - is this server time it is adding on? I also do not see all the tests in dT (could this be due to transactions being skipped as we do not have our full spec servers in place). Lastly, I was expecting "Failure Rates by Test Name" to correlate to availability - but I am not seeing any failures in dT (but I am in Gomez)?

Hi Matt
The data you see in dynaTrace is based on the PurePaths we detect that originated from Gomez Agents. We detect them based on the User Agent String and we then also identify which Monitor Script it was. There are two Business Transactions that take care of that analysis. We then also take this data and send it back to the Gomez Portal so that you see this dynaTrace data in the Gomez Portal.
These two Business Transactions are automatically created when you open the Gomez Dashboards in dynaTrace the first time through the Start Center. Click on the Monitoring Tab in Start Center and open one of the two Synthetic Monitoring dashboards in the very last bullet item.
More information on that can also be found here:

Just to add, I have looked at the Gomez Convergence Browser Timing but the stats are not the same as thru the gomez portal.
