View and Analyze
In the AppDynamics mobile app, these two screens display metrics:
- Home screen: Displays the widgets you created. Widgets identify the application and entity name, whether the widget is for a business transaction, application, tier, or node (or business transaction, application, service, or service instance). and the type of data that was selected for that widget during setup.
- Events screen: Displays data for two event types: Health Rule Violations, and Anomalies. Events and alerts correspond to the health rules and event thresholds defined in the AppDynamics Controller UI. Anomaly detection provides details of the deviating metric and anomaly duration for the business transaction affected.
Both the Home and Events screens display data for the TimeRange selected. If no data displays, try editing the TimeRange selections.
To view entity data from the Home screen:
- Tap a widget name. The screen displays tabs for Details and Relationships. Details displays by default.
- Widget entity name and type
- Transaction Scorecard: percentage data for speed, stalls, and errors
- Exceptions: totals for exceptions, HTTP error codes, and page redirects (when viewing an application, tier, or node, or when viewing an application, service, or service instance)
- Errors: average, total, and graphical data; touch and drag the vertical crosshair on any graph to simultaneously move all graphs to a specific point in time
- Response Time: average and graphical data; touch and drag the vertical crosshair on any graph to simultaneously move all graphs to a specific point in time
Load: average, total, and graphical data; touch and drag the vertical crosshair on any graph to simultaneously move all graphs to a specific point in time
- Tap the Relationships tab. A spinner indicates that data is loading. Wait for data to load. Here you can view the Applications, Business Transactions, Tiers, and Nodes (or Applications, Business Transactions, Services, and Service Instances) related to the selected entity. This screen is split into sections by entity type. Within each entity type section, there are at most two health groups: healthy and unhealthy. The entity circle size represents the number of entities in that health group.
- If available, tap a section with multiple entities. The entity list screen displays. You can filter by All, Normal, Warning, or Critical. The entity circle color corresponds to health status:
- Green: normal
- Yellow: warning
- Red: critical
- Tap an entity to see metric data in greater detail. Again the Details and Relationships tabs display. As you navigate, each selection provides a deeper dive into the details of the reported event. Tapping a section with a single entity displays Details and Relationships tabs for that selected entity.
- Tap the left-facing arrow(s) to go back.
