Generate Alert for Transaction Performance CSM Event

Microsoft.SystemCenter.Apm.CsmWebPageTransaction.AlertPerformanceAspectRule (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The object state is changed to unhealthy when the total number of client-side performance events for a configured transaction exceeds the monitor threshold.

Causes

Client-side performance alerts are generated when the page load time for the web application exceeds the configured threshold. The total timing is measured at the web browser, is correlated to server processing time, and then is separated into the following categories that are available in the event details:

When the page load time exceeds the threshold:

When the response time for AJAX calls exceed the threshold:

Significant amount of time spent in one or a few categories might point to the root cause of the performance problem. For example, the time spent processing network requests and responses might suggest slow network connectivity. Long server response time might be caused by slowly-running server code, and can be further troubleshoot by investigating associated server-side performance alerts. Slow DOM loading might be linked to excessive complexity or size of the application page, or might also point to slow performance of the client browser. Long run times for the Window.OnLoad() event or slow AJAX JavaScript indicate inefficient code on the page or might be due to slow performance of client browser. A large number of page redirects might result from complex or inefficient application code.

Resolutions

Client-side performance alerts are generated when the run time exceeds the configured threshold. Typical application performance degradation causes might be slow performance of the web server, a slow network, or inefficient application code.
