Abstract: Examples include monitoring performance of an application. Some examples include tracing a set of transactions associated with an application, generating a transaction interface that includes an area to receive a selection of a transaction of the set of transactions, and receiving a selected transaction. Based on the selected transaction, a transaction monitor rule may be built to monitor the selected transaction. Based on the transaction monitor rule, a performance interface may be generated that includes an area having transaction performance information of the selected transaction.

Abstract: A method may include performing stack trace sampling to obtain a compiled list of transactions performed by a software application during a preconfigured timeframe, filtering the compiled list of transactions according to a set of filtering parameters to obtain a set of transactions instances that complies with the set of filtering parameters, and finding a set of non-instrumented methods within the set of transactions instances that complies with the set of filtering parameters. The set of non-instrumented methods may exceed a percentage threshold of a total transaction time of transactions that the set of non-instrumented methods are a part of and the percentage threshold may be user-configurable. The method may further include adding a set of instrumentation points into a points file, the set of instrumentation points associated with the set of non-instrumented methods.
