Anomaly Detection

Splunk AppDynamics can now identify the root causes of a business transaction anomaly that originated in a server (infrastructure entity). In Top Suspected Causes, you can hover over a suspected cause to identify the call path between the originating entity of the business transaction and the server that caused the performance issue. See Examine the Top Suspected Causes.

Alert and Respond

In the Health Rule Violation Events report, you can now view the database collector name linked to a node that triggers an alert. This enhancement facilitates a quicker investigation of alerts by enabling the identification of the relevant collector from the list on the Databases page.

Previously, you had to examine each collector individually on the Databases page to find the node responsible for the alert. The alert now displays the database information in the following format: 

<database_collector_name>:<database_name>:<node_name>
