Default Servers
but some activity will satisfy only the primary rule set or the alternate rule set,
and some activity will satisfy both rule sets. In reports, Application Response
shows response data gathered using both rule sets, allowing you to analyze
application response time from different points of view.
For example, you may want to monitor an application for a set of transactions
related to New Employee activity and a set of transactions related to Employee
Update activity (the primary rule set), while simultaneously recording a
measurement of all activity that occurs within the application (the alternate
rule set).
Default Servers
Default servers enable Application Response to monitor certain applications
out-of-the- box (that is, with little setup or configuration required). By using
these default server definitions, Application Response can collect the server
response time component of a transaction's response time.
When you select View, Servers in BT Studio, the server list that appears
includes default servers. These servers have names that begin with "Default-"
and check marks in the Default column. If Application Response observes a
monitored application communicating with a server for which no server
definition exists but that matches one of these default servers, Application
Response uses the default server definition to collect network and server time
related to the application activity.
More specifically, the default servers enable Application Response to track
response time for all traffic of a certain type for which no specific server has
been defined. For example, the default Mail application uses the Default-Mail-
POP3 and Default-Mail-SMTP servers so that Application Response can monitor
all POP and SMTP traffic.
In general, the out-of-the-box application and server definitions are useful for
demonstrating the capabilities of Application Response. When you are ready to
monitor your applications, you may want to define new applications. You can
continue to use the out-of-the-box applications and servers to monitor
application response time if they suit your needs.
About Response Paths
In reports, Application Response displays a response path, which indicates the
client, application, module (transaction), and server involved in the measured
response time. The following shows a sample response path name:
