Configuring Response Time Monitoring

The Response Time Monitoring agent monitors HTTP and HTTPS transactions on your HTTP server. Real browser-based user transactions (browser timings) are also monitored.

The Response Time Monitoring agent can be used to view the following levels of monitoring information:
HTTP and HTTPS Transaction Monitoring
HTTP transaction monitoring is automatically available when you install the Response Time Monitoring agent.
Depending on the type of HTTP server you are monitoring, HTTPS transaction monitoring might be automatically available or it might need to be manually configured. For more information, see Response Time Monitoring Components.
The Response Time Monitoring also monitors data relating to user counts, session counts, and devices.
Data is presented in the End User Transactions dashboard in the local time of the user and also used in the Requests and Response Time widget.
Real End user Transaction Monitoring (Browser timings)
Depending on the type of HTTP server you are monitoring, browser based timings might be automatically available or might need to be configured. For more information, see Response Time Monitoring Components.
Browser based timings are made possible with JavaScript Injection.
With JavaScript Injection, you can see further widgets and detail within the End User Transaction dashboards. JavaScript Injection ensures that the real end-user response time is collected from within the browser. It monitors the performance of HTTP pages and embedded objects for web pages that are served by the HTTP Server. The following additional real end-user transaction details are available:
  • Client Total Time in the Transaction Requests and Response Time widget
  • Response Time for Client Time transactions in the Transactions - Top 10 widget
  • Render Time Breakdown
