Business transaction

A business transaction represents a capability within your business application that fulfills a response to a user-initiated request. Its performance directly impacts user experience. You can monitor performance as experienced by your end users in the context of business transactions.

Monitored resources

Turbonomic monitors the following resources:

  • Response time

    Response time is the elapsed time between a request and the response to that request. Response time is typically measured in seconds (s) or milliseconds (ms).

  • Transaction

    Transaction is a value that represents the per-second utilization of the transactions that are allocated to a given entity.

The Response Time and Transaction charts for a Business Transaction show average and peak/low values over time. You can gauge performance against the given SLOs. By default, Turbonomic estimates SLOs based on monitored values. You can set your own SLO values in policies.

Actions

None

Turbonomic does not recommend actions for a Business Transaction, but it does recommend actions for the underlying Application Components and infrastructure. The Pending Actions chart for a Business Transaction lists these actions, thus providing visibility into the risks that have a direct impact on the Business Transaction's performance.
