Correlated project management

Home > Select Project > Management > Correlated Project Management

If you have created a database monitoring (DPM) project and an application monitoring (APM) project, you can relate the two projects for monitoring the data collected from DPM in the APM project.

You can check the details of the transaction in real time through active transactions of the application linked to the active session in the database. This integrated monitoring allows you to analyze the interactions between applications and databases in detail and diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks in real time.

Correlated Project Management

The Correlated Project Management feature allows you to go beyond product-/equipment-centric monitoring and view monitoring data across multiple projects. This is useful for analyzing how different system components such as applications and databases, interact together. In particular, when performance degradation occurs, you can quickly determine whether it is a hardware problem or an individual application problem, which can significantly reduce the troubleshooting time. Through Correlated Project Management, you can comprehensively analyze performance data at the user system level and obtain more visible insights.

Note

Notes before you begin

  • Currently, only the Java platform is supported. The supported platforms are to be expanded through upcoming updates.

  • For more information on how to link a database project to the application project, see the following.

Adding any linked project​

  1. Go to Management > Correlated Project Management.

  2. In the Add a project to correlate section, select the Project selection input field.

    Correlated Project Management

  3. If you see a list of projects, select a project to link to. You can also enter a string to search for matching projects.

  4. Select one or more projects and then select Add that is active.

The selected project is added in Correlated project list.

Checking any linked project​

It provides real-time details about active transactions in applications associated to active sessions in the database. Users can check specific metrics such as transaction ID, thread ID, client IP, and CPU usage time, along with basic information such as transaction URL and database connection information, DB type, HTTP method, and execution time. Additionally, you can monitor the SQL query execution time, number of SQL calls, DB connection time, and such, which allows you to comprehensively analyze the system performance.

In particular, it provides the call stack information and SQL queries through stack traces, helping you trace and resolve detailed causes when problems occur. This allows you to perform in-depth analysis of interactions between applications and databases, and to quickly diagnose performance bottlenecks.

Tracing active transactions​

Go to Dashboard > Monitoring a Database Instance. The link analysis feature can be checked only in real-time query status.

Correlation analysis

  1. Select an instance (agent) for query in the Instance option.

  2. In the Active sessions table list, select Linked icon for the active session to correlate.

  3. The Correlation analysis window appears, which provides transaction information associated with the selected active session.

Select the desired project from the Correlated project list to check the linked analysis information.

Note

  • You can go to the Application Dashboard menu for that project by selecting Move project on the upper right of the screen.

  • If there is no transaction associated with the selected active session, the screen displays No data.

Correlation analysis Screen guidance​

The Correlation analysis window displays information details for active transactions, as well as the call stack and SQL statements.

Active Transaction​

You can check information details of the linked active transactions.

Active Transaction

  • DB Connection: Database connection URL.

  • Thread ID: Unique identifier of the thread used to process the transaction.

  • Sid: ID of the selected active session.

    Note

    Sid is the same value as the PID entry in the Active sessions table. It is also equivalent to the SID entry in the SQL information of the APM project.

    SID

  • Thread Stat: Current status of the thread.

  • DB Type*: Type of the linked database platform.

Note

For more information about others, see the following.

Call Stack​

It provides information to trace the order of methods or function calls.

Call Stack

SQL​

SQL query executed via the linked active transactions.

SQL

Removing any linked project​

  1. Go to Management > Correlated Project Management.

  2. To delete a project to unlink from the Correlated project list section, select Delete icon on the utmost right of the list.

  3. When the confirmation message appears, select Delete.

The deleted project is excluded from the Correlated project list section.
