This page describes the scenarios that trigger Splunk AppDynamics to capture a transaction snapshot and how to configure transaction snapshot settings.

Splunk AppDynamics captures transaction snapshots of select instances of a transaction and provides a cross-tier view of the processing flow for a single invocation of a transaction. See Troubleshoot Business Transaction Performance with Transaction Snapshots.

Subject to the guidelines and limits described on this page, snapshots are captured when:

• The app agent determines the user experience for the business transaction to be slow or the transaction incurred an error.
• The app agent collects snapshots during periodic snapshot collection.
• The app agent collects snapshots during a diagnostic session.
