Objective

Deep drill down into monitoring module

Out of scope

RUM configuration

What will we talk about

Script parameterization - General Availability threshold General TX and location renaming - General EUM Admin configuration Application configuration BTF configuration TX configuration

Hands on

Script parameterization - General

No need to edit the script with Vugen any more Create a script with parameters Override the parameter values from EUM Admin Set different parameter values per location Define Expiration date for parameters

The solution is limited for very specific parameter types (file and table)

Availability threshold - General

Defined for each TX. Dictates the availability color that will be shown on report for the TX depending on its availability For example:
You define This means that at least 9 our of 10 TX need to be completed with no availability problem

TX and location renaming - General

Override the TX and location names from BSM All data will be shown in the reports under the renamed value
TX CI definition

Location name in Location manager

EUM Admin configuration

Available trough: Admin > End User Management

Shared configuration for BPM and RUM Left view enables selecting specific view from model explorer

It also give you ability to add groups at several levels to the hierarchy

Application configuration

Allows different types of configuration

CI Properties CI name and description

BPM configuration RUM configuration Alerts configuration Definition of location offset

Application configuration - BPM

BPM configuration
Properties - General configuration Default settings Default thresholds and breakdown config Data collectors assignment of application to data collectors Reports configuration Tx ordering and coloring

Application configuration - BPM

Properties
General settings
Active/Inactive License type Link to Downtime manager

BTF order
Relevant if BTF inherit application schedule Run mode classic/sequential or stepped (not concurrent) All BTFs run on the same host

Application configuration - BPM

Properties
Webtrace definition

Script parameterization

Baseline definition

Application configuration - BPM

Default settings
Default TX thresholds Default TX breakdown

Application configuration - BPM

Data collectors
Assignment of BPM hosts to applicationconfiguration

Includes
Scheduler settings

BTFs

Advanced setting

Application configuration - BPM

Reports Configuration
TX ordering TX coloring

Application configuration Alerts configuration

Alert definition for the application Template definition

Application configuration Location offset

Define offset for a specific location for all application config Common usage: a location with slow connection Shared for BPM and RUM

Application configuration Location offset

All locations can be defined under certain hierarchy

A location can propagate its offset to its children
Example: All hosts from location USA have a slow connection. The parent Location USA needs a propagate definition.

A location can override the offset from its parent

Example: you need to define slow connection from the US accept from FL that have fast connection (FL will override the offset that it got from USA)

BTF configuration

Allowed different types of configuration

CI Properties CI name and description

BPM configuration

BPM configuration
Properties - General configuration Data collectors assignment of BTF to data collectors

BTF configuration - BPM

Properties
General settings
Active/Inactive

Script management
Add/remove script Update script version Edit script settings Assign script to BPM host View/Edit thresholds Apply breakdown configuration View/Edit script parameters Script ordering in a BTF (subject to same restrictions as in BTF ordering)

Webtrace assignment Same as in application

Single TX script assignment already demonstrated

BTF configuration - BPM

Properties
TX performance and availability threshold

BTF configuration - BPM

Calculate suggested threshold

Using existing data to define better thresholds Default is last 2 weeks

Add the standard deviation to the average time 2 views

Locations TX view show all transactions in each location TX Location view Show all locations for each TX

BTF configuration - BPM

Data collectors
Define additional schedulers that are not part of the application scheduler

Override application definition

Ability to revert to application config

TX configuration

Offers the following configurations

CI Properties CI name and description BPM configuration
Performance threshold locations overriding performance threshold Availability threshold Script containing TX

TX configuration

Calculate suggested threshold

Using existing data to define better thresholds Default is last 2 weeks

Different configuration per location Add the standard deviation to the average time
