No network time reported for Web transactions
When testing Web application rules against an event log, BT Studio may report
zero network time. This problem occurs when the URL substrings defined for
the Web server do not apply to the URLs of the monitored transaction.
When monitoring Web transactions, BT Studio recognizes transactions based
on the URLs specified in an application rule set (if any). For example, if you
include the following transaction definition in an application's rule set, BT
Studio recognizes a CustomerSupport transaction when Web traffic includes
the URL www.concord.com/cust/techsup.htm:
transaction "LoadPage"
module "LoadPage"
{
event "Begin" Web BeginLoad
{ Level="top" URL=contains:"www.concord.com/cust/techsup.htm" }
event "End" Web EndLoad { Level="top" }
}
The URL substrings specified for a Web server (on the URL Substrings tab)
control the monitoring of network time for the application. If BT Studio
recognizes a transaction based on the application rule set, but there is no
match in the Web server definition, it reports a network time of 0 (zero).
So, for example, if the Web server for this application includes the URL
substring www.google.com, google.com does not match the transaction's URL,
www.concord.com/cust/techsup.htm. As a result, BT Studio monitors the
transaction but is not able to calculate its network time.
If the Web server for the application includes the URL substring concord.com,
the substring provides a match for www.concord.com/cust/techsup.htm, and
so BT Studio is able to monitor the transaction's response time, including its
network time.
To ensure that BT Studio can report network time for Web transactions, check
the URL substrings specified for the application's Web server and correct them
if necessary. You must also change the URL substrings for the Web server
defined in Application Response.
