Abstract: In some examples, transaction data is received in relation to transactions performed by an application on a mobile device. The transactions include interactions between the mobile device and at least one server. The transaction data is aggregated for a time period according to different time increments. The transaction data for the time period is stored in a first table aggregated into time intervals according to a first time increment, and the transaction data for the time period is also stored in a second table aggregated into time intervals according to a second time increment. A user interface can be generated to include transaction information generated using the transaction data aggregated for the time period.

Abstract: A system that allows developers to designate transactions for an application to track and monitor the performance of their applications on various mobile devices. In some embodiments, each transaction is composed of multiple interactions across several different screens that interact with different services or functions. The transactions of some embodiments overlap or are nested within each other, so that multiple transactions are monitored simultaneously. In some embodiments, each transaction is assigned a value, allowing a developer to prioritize troubleshooting in an application, as well as quantifying the costs of various issues in the application. In some embodiments, the system includes a transaction agent is installed on various devices that identifies and monitors transactions in the system and a transaction server that receives transaction data from the mobile devices and processes the data to allow a developer to monitor the performance of the application.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for automated configuration of a set of resources for hosting a virtual machine at a particular node in a hosting system. The hosting system includes several nodes for hosting virtual machines. The method, at a first virtual machine operating using a first set of resources of the particular node, receives a user-specified virtual machine configuration for a second virtual machine to be hosted on a second set of resources of the particular node.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide application performance management tools with a service monitor that operates on a number of different mobile devices to track and monitor services that an application is using. In some embodiments, the service monitor stores a log relating to the use of the service each time the application uses the service. The application performance tool also includes an error monitor to detect an application error and report the application error to a performance monitoring server along with one or more logs relating to the use of the service when the error is detected. The performance monitoring server then provides an error report with the one or more logs to assist a developer in diagnosing the cause of the error with the application.
