Skype Instant Message (Phase 1) Synthetic Transaction collection rule

Microsoft.LS.2019.Monitoring.Rule.SyntheticTransaction.LyncSkypeIM (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This rule quantifies the latency for a given scenario that may be perceived by an end user. The latency is measured by collecting the runtime for each synthetic transaction execution.

Causes

Latency may be caused by a variety of factors including network delays or overloaded servers.

Resolutions

Please look at the Synthetic Transactions Performance view for historical latency details. The root cause may be able to be identified by cross referencing spikes in latency with other related alerts, or by using the specific synthetic transaction from the command line to pin-point where the delay is occurring.
