500-420 Exam Dumps : Cisco AppDynamics Associate Performance Analyst(CAAPA)

A transaction snapshot in AppDynamics is a detailed report of a single execution of a business transaction. Its primary purpose is to analyze issues with a specific business transaction by providing a comprehensive view of the transaction's execution path, including timing, call graphs, and database queries. This allows performance analystsand developers to drill down into individual transactions to diagnose performance bottlenecks, errors, or anomalies.

• AppDynamics documentation on Transaction Snapshots: Offers detailed guidance on how to capture and analyze transaction snapshots to troubleshoot and optimize application performance.

In Cisco AppDynamics, the transaction threshold configurations are typically found under the "Overview" tab. This is where you can view the health rule violations and performance baselines that are associated with transaction snapshots, which can include the configured transaction thresholds. These thresholds set the acceptable performance limits for transactions, and when these limits are exceeded, it may trigger health rule violations that are visible on the Overview tab.

The performance pattern outside of business hours on 6/16/18 that would be of most interest to a Performance Analyst is the elevated response time, as indicated on 6/19/18. This is because it shows a significant spike in response time, which could indicate a performance issue that needs to be addressed. Anomalies in response time can often be more indicative of underlying problems than changes in call volume, especially when they occur outside of expected peak periods.
