Calls per Second

[Gregory.Ganz]

I'm trying to see if there is an elegant way to display the calls per second for a given business transaction that we're trying to debug/monitor.

Is there any way for me to get the actual calls per second data to be able to expose it on a timeline graph? I seem to only be able to get to calls per minute, which isn't granular enough for the issue we're trying to debug/expose.

Hi Ganz,

  Unfortunately, that is not possible . The metrics collected by agent are at 1 min granularity so we wont be able to plot per sec graph.

Thanks,

Could it be possible to display / use the total number of calls?

From Bussiness Transactions metrics we can list the value of the calls/min and also the number of calls.

However when we need to create a rule&alert that metric (total of calls) is not available.

How to proceed then to use the number of calls instead of the calls/min?

Thanks

Can you build it as a custom metric, and then use that to call in a healthrule/dashboard?

Thanks Eric,

But this is an agent running on WebLogic server, application monitoring How to proceed here to create a custom metric from the controller?

Thanks

One way might be to add the WebLogic Custom Extension (found here: https://www.appdynamics.com/community/exchange/extension/weblogic-monitoring-extension/). If it doesn't automatically pull the data you want, you're interested in, you can add that custom metric in the Extension to report into your Controller: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO45/Build+a+Monitoring+Extension+Using+Java
