Business Transactions for Log Observer Connect

The business transaction is an end-to-end, cross-tier processing path that is used to complete a request for a service provided by the application.

Follow the steps after selecting the required application on the AppDynamics Controller UI:

  1. Click Business Transactions on the left pane.
  2. Select the time range for which you require the log details.
  3. Select the required business transaction, then click Details.
  4. Click View Logs in Splunk.
    Note: If the View Logs in Splunk button is disabled, then there are no logs during the selected time range. Change the time range and check if the button is enabled.
This opens a new tab with the Splunk Enterprise UI where you can view the logs in-context of the business transaction and the selected time range. The selected business transaction is added as a search query on the Splunk Enterprise UI.
For example, in Splunk Enterprise, you can view the following logs related to the business transaction.
Warning: When you navigate to Splunk Enterprise by using the View Logs in Splunk button, you might not be able to view all the log results as per the search query. The search query may contain indexes for which you might have access restriction based on your assigned role. If you want to view such logs, contact your Splunk administrator.
