Business Transaction Discovery Sessions

Splunk AppDynamics

Business Transaction Discovery Sessions provide interactive tools to help you create the optimal set of transaction detection rules and discover crucial business transactions.

During a discovery session, you can preview the effects of all the transaction detection rules on a node. This way you can create rules that capture the precise business transactions that impact your business and avoid rules that generate too many transactions.

Within the context of the discovery session, you can:

  • Edit Java Agent transaction detection rules and Preview Business Transactions. (Java only)
  • Identify entry points from Uninstrumented Code.
  • Browse Classes/Methods to identify entry points.

During the business transaction discovery session, you can test out various transaction detection rule configurations without impacting your production environment.

Any business transactions discovered within the context of the discovery session, called transient transactions, do not persist after the session ends. When you end the session you have the opportunity to discard the rule changes or to apply them to your production configuration.
