Transcations Exceeding threshold
Hi,
I have a URI abc.xhtml whose upper warming threshold is set to 5 seconds.I have a created a measure for this URI with 5 seconds threshold.
Can you please help me with the following:
a) How can I prepare a dashlet that shows me only the transactions for this URI that exceed the threshold within the selected time frame.
b) How can I get the count of the transactions that have exceeded the threshold within the selected time frame.
Hi Anurag
For this you need to create a Business Transaction that uses your Web Request Time Measure as filter. If you have that business Transaction you can
a) Chart the Count of PurePaths that match that Business Transaction = Those WebRequests to abc.xhtml > 5s
b) You can use that Business Transaction as a filter for your dashlets so that you only see those PurePaths that match that condition
The steps to create this BT are really simple:
1: Create new Business Transaction
2: Select your Measure as a Filter Measure
3: DONE!

Hi,
is this just working for purepaths recorded after i applied the business transaction and the measure on webRequest duration?
or is the BT as filter also working for historical purepath data?
what i did without reaching the desired state yet:
- i selected the specific web request and applied a measure
- afterwards i create a business transaction
- in the business transaction i defined the measure as filter measure
- the measure itself looks like as follows:
- in the business transaction i defined the measure as filter measure
- when applying this business transaction as dashboard filter i get lot of purepaths which are below the 5s warning/severe treshold
- my expectation would be just to seeing the purepath taking longer than 5 seconds of the last 24 hours.
thanks for further help.
Edwin,
creating a new BT will not apply this to already completed PurePaths. When a PurePath is analyzed in realtime it will check if any BT matches and then put that "flag" on the PurePath. So if you create a new BT or change an existing it will only be applied to new PurePaths.
In your case it looks like the BT filter measure had no treshold (5s) set before and was then changed to include this treshold that's likely why you see the fast requests with the BT filter now?

Hi,
My web Request measure is showing the data in the charts with proper Threshold but when I include that In a business Transaction ,It does not show up any data .. Ideally It should have shown the count of requests exceeding the threshold of 10 Seconds.Can you please suggest why?
Please note that when I filter the purepath with this Business Transaction (as suggested in your reply), then also I dont see any data.
Also Attaching the Measure Description 
Hi,
For the Filter aggregation, it should be something like min/max/avg (makes no difference if there is only one such request per PurePath), "count" will be searching for PurePaths where this web request occurred 10x or more.
Hope that helps,

Thanks Richard.It worked. Can you let me know if I can include more than 1 URI in a measure. For e.g.: single Web Request measure can be used to handle multiple web pages (abc.xhtml, xyz.xhtml) .Also an incident should be generated if this measure threshold is breached.
The best way to handle this would be to make one filter measure for each page you are looking for (as you have already done for this "...Resolver.xhtml") then add all of them as filters to the same Business Transaction with "OR" specified in the logic column. Then, add to the Splitting the out-of-the-box measure "Complete URI Path"

Thanks Richard. I followed as instructed as instructed above and got the desired result.I did not do the splitting at "Complete URI Path" level as I wanted the total count of failures .
This BT is working fine and giving correct output as well as filtering the purepaths correctly but when I do a charting to plot a graph of failure counts within a specified time frame , it returns no values ..Can you please advise how to get the counts in the graph .
Also , is there any way that I can create an incident if the total number of failures shown up by this BT is greater than say 50 in 30 minutes time frame or any specified time frame?
Can you try to change the drop down box from "split by agent" to "split by application" or "no splitting". Then you should be able to see values. The BT Result will probably not split its result by Agent - thats why the list is empty.
Thanks Andreas.It worked .. Can you also address my another question of " is there any way that I can create an incident if the total count shown up by this BT is greater than say 50 in 30 minutes time frame or any specified time frame?"
Yes its possible. Simply create an Incident and use the Failed Transaction Count measure as Condition. Set the Aggregation to SUM and make sure you specify the Threshold on that Failed Transaction Count Measure - check out this screenshot
Hi Andreas,
I have a Business Transaction that shows the count of transactions that have exceeded the threshold.This BT is internally calling many measures (for different web pages) as specified in the Richard's email below.The problem that I am facing is when I am trying to create an incident for this transaction and trying to set the threshold ,its giving not giving me the option to set the threshold on count ,instead its giving the option to set the threshold on Response time.
You need to select the "Failed Transaction Count" Result Measure of your Business Transaction. If you look at your "Select Measure" Screenshot from yesterday that shows your Business Transaction you see that there is a "Failed Transaction Count" Result Measure. If you use that for your Condition and then Edit that measure you can specify the Count Threshold. This is exactly what I did in my screenshot
