Note: This workflow has largely been replaced by the Live Mode feature.
If you don't see expected activity in your application, you might be missing an entry point at the start of the activity. Use the find-entry-points
node property to configure missing entry points for any Business Transactions (BTs) that aren't detected out-of-the-box (OOTB). This property enables additional logging about the call stack of the app's executing code.
In many cases, the OOTB configuration instruments entry points so this workflow isn't usually necessary. You would only use these instructions if your code is built within a framework that isn't supported by the out-of-the-box configuration. However, we recommend using the Live Mode feature instead.
Three rules to keep in mind:
NOTE: Do not pick a method that never ends, such as a run () method that waits on a user request! See: POJO Entry Points.
find-entry-points
property to true.BusinessTransactions<X>.log
file.BusinessTransactions.2017_11_27__12_54_08.0.log
com.xyz.abc.domain.pqr.Health
and method run. Note: Setting the property value to true causes verbose logging to be output until the value is switched to false, so it is unwise to leave this property value set to true.
If the application has no known exit calls, such as no HTTP, web services, JDBC, etc, then no call stacks are logged when you run find entry points.
To work around this limitation, set a custom exit point to force the logging of the associated call stack, then run find entry points again. The log entry at the top of the call stack should be your custom exit point. This works best when you know a method in the business functionality or user request that you are trying to measure. See Configure Custom Exit Points.
