Monitoring synthetic transactions in the Executions view
In the Executions view you see information about executions, down to the transactions level, for a specific location, and the selected time frame. By default, transactions are sorted by start time. To find the information you need, you can sort by any of the columns in the table. The time range of the data displayed in the Executions view is initially the same as the time range from the Locations view. You can change the displayed time range.
To open the Executions view
- In the Locations view, click the action menu of the location that you want to investigate.
- Select View Executions.
The Executions view replaces the Locations view.
The following details are displayed in the Executions view:
Column | Description |
|---|---|
Transaction Start Time | Start time of the transaction
|
Transaction | Name of the transaction |
Latency | Amount of time (in milliseconds) the transaction took for completion from end to end |
Availability Errors | Number of availability errors in the transaction Availability errors occur when the application does not respond, or when the application responds with an error that indicates it is unavailable. |
Accuracy Errors | Number of accuracy errors in the transaction Accuracy is calculated with the assumption that monitored applications are working as designed and that the information transmitted to clients is correct. Functions that can be evaluated to determine accuracy include link checking, content validation, title validation, and response data verification. |
Execution Errors | Number of execution errors in the transaction (unlikely to exceed 1) An execution error indicates that there were problems with the script execution. It does not indicate anything about the health of the application. |
Execution Start Time | Start time of this execution |
