Filtering

Filtering transaction measurements is the most important task in large environments. The main filtering concept of the MyARM-Manager is the concept of Selections where transactions are selected by their definitions. Mostly this is not enough and a finer granularity is needed.

Filtering attributes

The MyARM-Manager provides filtering of different application and transaction attributes as described in detail in the following sections.

"The main filter widgets" shows the main filter widgets for using the filter. With the App arrow down push button a menu is opened to show input fields for the appropriate application attribute. The Tran arrow down push button is used to open a menu with available transaction attribute filters. The Apply button is used to apply the filter and the result is shown on the instance view on the right side.

In "A transaction attribute filter: Starttime (UTC)" an example filter widget is shown. Each filter widget has a title describing the filter attribute and a close button to hide the filter widget. Only shown attributes are used for filtering. Here the transaction start time filter widget is shown as an example.
