Search Analytics Data

You can search Analytics data in two modes:

  • Basic mode, where you can add search criteria to filter your data and return a subset of available events. In Basic mode, you see the list of events that match your search criteria, along with a count of those events. This mode is referred to in the UI as Drag and Drop Search.
  • Advanced Mode, where you can use the Splunk AppDynamics Query Language (ADQL). ADQL is a SQL-like query language that provides additional operators and functions to enable more complicated searches. This mode is referred to in the UI as Query Language Search.

For each mode, you see the analytics data sources that are licensed and enabled for your application. The applications, data sources, and other fields that you see depend on how the administrator has set the permissions for your role. When creating new roles, remember that granting permissions to view transaction analytics data does not automatically grant permissions to see all application data associated with a specific transaction analytics record. You need to grant at least read-only permissions to the application to enable the user to see associated transaction snapshot data such as flow maps.

Note: When you search Analytics data, the values shown for segment fields are from the originating tier segment. Data from downstream (non-originating) tier segments is not shown. To visualize downstream segment data, double-click on the transaction row to display the Transaction Snapshot screen. Then select the Transaction Data tab.
