Entity Metrics Report

Daniel Odievich edited this page Aug 16, 2020 · 52 revisions

Overview

Entity Metrics report shows summary for all transactional Metrics for Applications, Tiers, Nodes, Business Transactions, Backends, Service Endpoints, Errors and Information Points for APM Applications.

This makes it very valuable in times when you want to rapidly assess hundreds of Applications, Tiers and Business Transactions and see which ones need your attention.

The scatter plot chart above each table provides description of Calls vs Response for each row. As the table is filtered, the data in the chart will change.
