The maximum length of a response path name is 64 characters. If a path
name exceeds 64 characters, eHealth generates an error and does not include
that response time data in reports. When creating names for applications,
modules, and servers, choose names that are 15 characters or less. Shorter
names help to avoid errors and ensure that response paths are easy to read.
Note: Although the recommended length of names for applications, modules,
and servers is 15 characters, you can define names that use up to 32
characters. This permits flexibility, but you must remember that the maximum
length for a response path name is 64 characters. For example, if you use a
server name of 25 characters, you may want to balance this with a shorter
application name of five characters.
About the Event Log File
You use information in the event log file when developing rules for
transactions to monitor. The event log file stores details about application
activity (events) that the recording agent observes on the client computer.
When you use BT Marker to annotate events, those annotations are also
stored in the event log file. The recording agent continues to store information
in the event log file until you stop recording.
When you use BT Studio to develop application rules, you open an event log
file in the events pane of the BT Studio window. The events pane displays each
event on a separate line. You can filter events to hide irrelevant or
uninteresting events from view. This helps you focus on important events
while you create transaction definitions in the rule set. After you develop a rule
set, you can test the rules against the event log file. This helps you to debug
the rule set and make sure that it recognizes transactions correctly.
Name and Location of the Event Log File
The default file name for the event log is events.btl, and by default it resides
in the same directory as the recording agent. (The default location for the
recording agent and the event log file is C:\eHealth\agent\response.) You can
specify a different name (and location) for the file by defining the value of the
