Transaction monitoring

When ARM is enabled, the transactions that are monitored are service events and event deliveries. The transaction is measured from the start of a service request or event delivery to the end of the service request or event delivery. The name of the transaction displayed on the Tivoli Monitoring for Transaction Performance console will start with either SERVICE REQUEST or EVENT DELIVERY. The next part of the name will be the business object verb (such as CREATE, RETRIEVE, UPDATE or DELETE). The final part of the name will be the business object name such as "EMPLOYEE." For example, the name of a transaction for an event delivery for creation of an employee might be EVENT DELIVERY CREATE EMPLOYEE. Another might be SERVICE REQUEST UPDATE ORDER.

The following metrics are collected by default for each type of service request or event delivery:

You (or the system administrator of the WebSphere Application Server) can select which of these metrics to display, for which adapter events, by configuring Discovery Policies and Listener Policies for particular transactions from within the Tivoli Monitoring for Transaction Performance console.
