All Other Traffic Business Transactions

View All Other Traffic

All Other Traffic displays next to other business transactions in the Business Transactions list. You can also see this information under the Overflow tab in the Business Transactions list. You can view the dashboard and key performance metrics for All Other Traffic in the Get Started with Metric Browser.

Controller Limits

As an organizational unit in the Splunk AppDynamics model, business transactions are meant to be used for the most important transactions in your environment. The Controller limits the number of business transactions (50 for a node and 200 for a business application). This limit controls resource utilization on the Controller, and also helps you focus on the most important services performed by your application environment.

Virtual Business Transaction Group

Once the business transaction registration limit is reached or the transaction lockdown is enabled, newly detected transactions are not registered as business transactions, but they are monitored and reported by Splunk AppDynamics. The transactions are grouped into a virtual business transaction named All Other Traffic. An All Other Traffic group exists for each tier on which the limit is reached. To view these business transactions, right-click on the tier and select View All Other Traffic.

Note: The All Other Traffic does not have transaction snapshot for the PHP and the Python Agents.

Purged Business Transactions

To reduce the number of business transactions and only show relevant ones, Splunk AppDynamics periodically runs a purger to move registered business transactions that have not received metrics to All Other Traffic.

Promote Business Transactions

When refining business transactions, you may want to move certain transactions from the All Other Traffic bucket to make them first-class business transactions. You can keep within the limits by deleting or excluding other business transactions, such as those that have little or no load, by using a custom exclude rule. If the number of business transactions is below the limit and lockdown is enabled, you can promote a transaction from the list of All Other Traffic by registering it from the Traffic Details panel.

Add Business Transactions Manually

You can add business transactions manually from a virtual business transaction called All Other Traffic, which is populated with transactions once the business transaction registration limits are reached.
