Although background tasks are monitored separately, they display with other business transactions in the Business Transactions list. Background tasks are identified in the list by the background task icon ().

This information displays for the background tasks:

• The Business Transactions list shows currently executing background tasks and their statistics.
• The Metric Browser shows the response time for each background task.
• Transaction snapshots are generated for each execution of a background task. However, if a particular job runs frequently, the snapshot may not capture all details for each execution.

The tier and application-level metrics do not reflect background task activity. In addition, background tasks are not reflected on the application dashboard.
