List of sessions retrieved by a query

When you run a query in the BMC Application Performance Management Console, it retrieves a list of sessions that match the query criteria. The list contains the following information:

Session information retrieved during query

To go back to the query (for example if you want to edit it), click the Back button.

Because all found sessions appear in the list for the same reason (for example, long response time), for queries that return more than 100 sessions, the system shows a sample of the first 100 sessions.

The number of sessions in the list might be smaller than the number of affected sessions in the Query Summary. The list does not display sessions that have been deleted from storage (when the storage capacity limit has been reached) or those that are temporarily unavailable (when the sessions are in a transition mode from In Progress to Completed). When the sessions achieve the Completed state, they become available, and you can view them after refreshing the page.

To analyze the completed and in-progress sessions separately, use the following buttons that filter sessions in the list: All, Completed, In Progress.

To determine the most problematic sessions in order to analyze them first, you can sort the sessions in the list. For example, to see the sessions with the largest number of performance issues first, click the heading of the Slow pages column.

For each session you can download the archive with the detailed information about the session, its pages and objects, or open the session for further analysis.
