- 13. Common practices totransaction organization • Better understand application performance. • Map transactions to user actions or business activities.Why • Per transaction telemetry and baselines significantly improve root cause identification process. • End-to-end flow maps with performance telemetry for each business transaction. What • Group similar functionality into same transaction. • Split using additional parameters to have unique visibility if needed. • Review/update transaction detection periodically – it isn’t static.
