Question by Steven L. · May 01, 2014 at 03:23 AM ·

Relation dynatrace applications - business transactions

 

Problem:

I searched into the documentation but i do not completelly understand how to deal with applications in combination with business transactions,

------------------------------------------.

APPLICATIONS

Situation:

I have a load test environment,  i need to perform load testing for two teams (R&D + hosting),

also i need to test for each team two product versions / day. (4 test / day)  

 

Example: Load test component: WebServer

I have a few web services running into IIS (/team/test), each item has an application pool.

FT_RND (R&D team, fieldtest version)

FT_ASP (Hosting team, fieldtest version)  

PR_RND (R&D team, production version)

PR_ASP (Hosting team, production version)  

 

Purpose:

Create applications for a single webservice (= FT_RND/FWS, FT_RND/IWS, FT_ASP/FWS, FT_ASP/IWS, ...)

Create applications for a group of webservices (= FT_RND, FT_RND, FT_ASP, FT_ASP, ...)

Create applications that contain all webservices

 

Create dashboards (business transactions) for all the applications, example show all web calls for FT_RND/FWS application.

 

In fact i try to make a new relic dashboard into Compuware (we changed to Compuware recently).

It is possible into new relic to choose a product component or product group and view stats on that.

I taught i needed the Compuware application feature to do that. 

New relic:

----------------------------------------------------------------

How did i try to do this?

Create application, Filter on URL part (single webservice / group) to create applications,

 

 

 

Example: Group on PR_RND (all webcalls from R&D production version)

 

 

Queston:

Dynatrace forced me to create a business transaction, what is the reason for that?

To know in what way to present all the calls when i double click on application? Example split calls on soap action? (just trying to understand things)

Some applications does not contain requests?, example PR_RND_FWS has no data but it is a part of PR_RND which has data?

 

 

Queston:

Do i need to use application url filter?, can i not just use a business  transaction (example split request on first url tag, sensor, ...)

to create applications ?

 

Extra example:

I need a application for a WCF web service which works  as a service (accessible through tcp),

the entry point is a dynatrace sensor, so i need to create an application based on a business transaction (with sensor).  

-----------------------------------------------------------

BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS

When i create a business transaction, i see a defined application name,

 

Correct?

Business transaction are always executed on applications,

(i remember once a report with web call A & application A  + web call A & application B (i had all de calls double))

So i fact i can create dashboards and the user just selects the aplication by using the filter symbol. 

 

I guess i do not completely understand how to work with applications in relation to business transactions or otherwise, 

Thx

Hi,

Just to address one issue: Applications are completely independent configurations from a dynaTrace Perspective.  Transactions cannot overlap both PR_RND_FWS and PR_RND.  What you need to do is one of the following:

  • Group all PR_RND requests together
  • Keep the "sub-applications" of PR_RND separate but move them up the application list (with the "Higher Priority" button), then consider the PR_RND application the "other" bucket.

Let me know if and how much this helps.  You may also want to consider getting some Enablement Services hours to help architect your monitoring configuration/deployment.
