Application Diagnostic data collection

BMC Application Diagnostics balances the collection of data and the impact that data collection has on the system. The product calculates statistics about requests on the application server. All requests are used to calculate statistics, even requests that are not recorded. The product filters data to provide you with information that is focused on the performance of business transactions and transaction requests.

To achieve the diagnostics-performance balance, BMC Application Diagnostics trace details show the following data:

• Average and maximum latency (duration) of all requests
• Total number of latency violations
• Total number of errors
• Details for all requests that are specifically tagged to be persisted
• Technology breakdown of a sampled percentage of requests
• Complete recording (that is, the full code level) of the worst service-level agreement (SLA) breaching request for each request type
• Complete recording of each error type for each request type
