In App Dynamics calculating the sum of a transaction metric

Question

I am creating a dashboard in App Dynamics and would like to get the sum of the metric calls/minute for an endpoint of my web service. How can I do that? I can create the graph of calls/minute for a day.

But I would like to display the sum of these calls for a 24 hour period.

Answer 1

How to display the total number of calls for a Business Transaction over a 24 hour period:

• (Load Dashbord in Edit Mode)
• Click "Add Widget"
• Click "Metric Value"
• Click "Select a Metric"
• Specify the Application and BT in top 2 sections
• In next section click "Select a Metric"
• Click "Calls per Minute" / "Select Metric"
• Change "Value" to "Sum" in dropdown
• Click "Save"
• (optional) For time range can fix this to 24 hours by using the "Use Widget-Specific Time Range" option in the main widget edit screen (otherwise the dashboard time range will be used for the widget)
• Click "Save"
