I'm using AppD 4.5.11.3848 and Oracle JDK 1.8.0_231.   I've seen some incorrect process CPU% reported by the java agent.  It appears that the number is being derived as follows:   Process CPU burnt (ms/min)/60000/Runtime.availableProcessors()   In other words, the number of milliseconds of CPU used in a minute, divided by the number of milliseconds in a minute, divided by the result of Runtime.availableProcessors().  So, if there are 4 CPUs and the "cpu burnt" number is 30000, then we'd have 30000/60000/4, which is 12.5%   However, the Runtime.availableProcessors() method doesn't always report the actual number of processors.  Instead, if -XX:ActiveProcessorCount=n is set, it uses that.  In my example, if there were actually 8 CPUs but -XX:ActiveProcessorCount=4 is set, then AppD will report 12.5% when the actual number should be 6.25% (divide by 8 instead of 4.)   The active processor count does not actually limit the number of CPUs the process can use so I think this method of calculating process CPU % fails when the active processor count is set to something other than the actual value.   thanks     ...

All, Hopefully this is an easy one.   When I'm looking at a list of recorded business transactions, how can I know which transaction definition each one belongs to?   In particular, I have one whose name appears to be part of the URI + '.' + the soapaction header but I don't know how to find the definition for this transaction.   thanks   ...

Hi all,   I have a 3rd party library that exposes metrics via JMX.  Unfortunately some of them are simple counters: values that start at 0 and go up and up as the app runs.  Over time, the numbers get so big that looking at a graph over a short time period isn't useful because I can't see small changes in big numbers.  What I really want is the difference in the value over consecutive time periods.  That is, if the value was 1,000,000 a minute ago and is 1,000,037 now, I want 37 displayed/recorded.   I don't see anything like this in the docs.  Is it possible?   Thanks ...
