Default Automatic Naming for Web Transactions

By default, the Splunk AppDynamics auto-detection naming scheme identifies all web server transactions using the full URI before the query string. For example, the following URI represents a funds transfer operation for an online bank:

http://bank.example.com/Account/Transferfunds/California

Based on the default scheme, the business transaction would be named /Account/Transferfunds/California.

You can customize the auto-detected naming scheme by configuring identification based on:

  • URI segments
  • Headers, cookies, and other parts of HTTP requests

To customize auto-detected naming:

  1. On the Transaction Detection page, select the application or tier to configure and click the Web Server tab.
  2. Verify that Transaction Monitoring is enabled and click Discover Transactions automatically for http web requests.If you disable Discover Transactions automatically for WEB requests, the agent doesn't discover WEB transactions even if you configure custom naming.
  3. Click Configure Naming for the Web type in the Entry Points panel.
