Vaadin - Business Transactions

Hi

Has anyone ever done vaadin based applications? I'm interested in the best way to detect/configure Business Transactions on the server side. The json request body doesn't contain any readable information and I haven't found any other useful parameters.

Cheers

Hi Markus,

We agree you might not see out of box useful BTs , We have some customers using POJO rules defined under Configure -> Instrumentation -> transaction detection screen and that have given some visbility, As long as the target API requests are involving java .class we should be able to define custom rule and monitor, Can you see if that information helps.

Hi

Actually I wouldn't expect any out-of the box detection to work. So I was looking for the correct level to set the entry points. As this is about a third party application for which I don't have access to the binaries and cannot decompile anything, I thought there might be some commonly understood entry points for vaadin. Of course I could always have a look at some downstram layers, but as mentioned, I don't have access to the code.

Any hints would be much appreciated.

Thanks + regards

Markus

Hi Markus,

How possible for you to try below steps and provide logs so that we will go through the logs and suggesst right entry points from requested logs:

a) Set node property find-entry-points to true and save changes and generate load on JVM with -javagent entry 

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO40/App+Agent+Node+Properties

b) also collect thread dumps as stated in doc link https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO40/Request+Agent+Log+Files

and attached <agent_dir>/logs and /conf folder from agent directory Or collect logs from node dashboard -> agents screen using "All logs" option as referred in above doc and attach to this post to assist you further

Regards,

Arun
