Filtering business transaction monitoring information

You can filter the results of business transaction monitoring to show only those instances that match specified criteria.

About this task

When you view the results of a business transaction, you can display all the latest instances of the business transaction by clicking Refresh, or you can click Filter to display a subset of transaction instances based on their status or global transaction ID.

Procedure

You can filter the results by the status of the instances or by their global transaction ID, by following these steps:

  1. Click the View tab of the relevant business transaction definition.
  2. Click Filter to open the Filter dialog box.
  3. You can filter the results either by status or by transaction ID:
    • To display all instances with a particular status, click Status and then select one of the following options:
      • In progress shows all transactions that are still running.
      • Ended shows all transactions that have completed successfully.
      • Failed shows all transactions that stopped without completing.
      • Inconsistent shows all transactions whose state could not be resolved as In progress, Ended, or Failed, as a result of a problem occurring in the transaction. For example, if a transaction passed through your flows twice, two start events and two end events would be received, and the transaction would be marked Inconsistent.
    • To display all instances with a specified global transaction ID, or in a range of global transaction IDs, click one of the following options and then enter the required ID in the entry field:
      • equals
      • contains
