Integrating external monitoring applications with App Visibility

You can integrate transaction data from an external monitoring application if the external application can add a tag to specific transactions. Tag transaction headers with the external monitoring application, and TrueSight App Visibility Manager can provide a detailed view of those transactions. You can use the tag to persist the specific transactions, regardless of sampling or threshold configuration.

This topic presents the mechanisms that TrueSight App Visibility Manager can use to persist incoming HTTP requests that contain tags in the headers.

Warning

To prevent adverse system performance, use tagging on a very limited number of transactions.

Tags to persist transactions

You can tag multiple incoming HTTP requests to persist the transaction. This is useful when you want to see diagnostics data for transactions that occur infrequently. For example, you can examine diagnostics data for transactions tagging by another monitoring application.

For details about tagging HTTP headers, see Persisting-tagged-transactions.

Tags to persist transactions and link to details

You can use integration tags for the requests with a specified header, request parameter, or cookie, and then link directly to the trace details in App Visibility form the external application.

For details about tagging and linking from external systems, see Persisting-tagged-transactions.
