Monitor Business Transactions

This page includes details to monitor the vulnerability risk of a Business Transaction. evaluates the risk of a business transaction using an algorithm that factors in exposure to the internet, access to potentially sensitive data, usage of vulnerable libraries, reached vulnerable code, prediction of vulnerability exploitation, unsafe external APIs, and runtime threat activity.

These factors enable you to prioritize what is required to triage, mitigate, and remediate, which reduces risk exposure to the business. You can use the Search filter for the Business Transaction, Application, and Entry Tier categories. See Monitor Application Security Using .

The Business Transactions page includes these details:

Field NameDescription
Business Transaction

The name of the business transaction. To view the business transaction on the Splunk AppDynamics Controller, click the icon next to the name.

Application (Tiers)

The application name and the number of tiers that are part of the business transaction for the application. To view the application on the Splunk AppDynamics Controller, click the icon next to the name.

Entry Tier

The tier from which the transaction originates. To view the tier on the Splunk AppDynamics Controller, click the icon next to the name.

Business Risk The Business Risk algorithm is calculated based on the likelihood of vulnerability exploitation, and the impact of the potential exploitation in a business transaction. These are the three statuses for a Business Risk:
  • Normal 0-330
  • Warning 340-660
  • Critical 670-1000

The higher the value, the higher the risk for the application vulnerability.

Total Vulnerabilities

The number of vulnerabilities detected is based on their severity.

  • Critical
  • High
  • Medium
  • Low

The color-coded icons represent these severities.

Total Attacks The number of attacks based on their status:
  • Exploited
  • Blocked
  • Attempted

You can click the Export button to download the table data. It downloads all of the rows, columns, and related data in a .csv file. A separate .json file includes the following: link to the website where the table is exported from, global filters (if any) applied to the pages, and search filters applied to the columns. These two files are compressed into a .zip file for downloading. The maximum number of rows that can be exported is 10,000. If table data exceeds 10,000 rows you may apply filters to narrow your search, or export the first 10,000 results.
