Version 2 of RootCause Transaction Instrumentation (RTI) for Internet
Explorer offers substantial improvements, most notably in the areas of
improved data collection and expanded analysis.
Six quick charts
These new out-of-the-box charts
make it easier to understand what is happening with your application and
isolate problems. You can interactively navigate between the charts and
the raw data, using the charts to visualize the slowness and then
drilling into the raw data to identify the cause of the problem.
- Summary by Content Type
- This pie chart shows which
content type most
contributes to slow response
time based on the collected
MIME-type attributes: i.e.,
images, JavaScript, Flash,
HTML.
|
 |
- Summary by URL - Similar
to Summary by Content Type,
this chart summarizes the
URLs that most contribute to
slow response time.
|
 |
- Timeline of Selected
Transactions - A timeline
showing user transactions at
a high-level, which helps to
visualize the series of
events leading to a problem
and to quantify what exactly
took place: when did it
start, how bad was it, when
did it end?
|
 |
- Timeline with
Subtransactions - A timeline
providing a deep dive view
into the performance of a
single problem transaction.
The transaction is fully
decomposed to highlight
specifically what happened
in the context of a user
navigation. This is
the view to use when you
have determined what went
wrong and need to diagnose
why.
|
 |
- Performance by Content
Type - A view into
performance over a period of
time categorized based on
the collected MIME-type
attribute. This view
highlights trends in greater
detail: how much time is
consistently spent
downloading images or
JavaScript, for example.
This view can help to
highlight system
misconfiguration or design
issues that consistently
affect overall performance.
|
 |
- Performance by Host - A
high-level view into
performance over time where
a large dataset or multiple
users are to be charted.
This view is especially
usefully for comparing
trends over time and
quantifying performance
issues, outages or
degradations. Combined with
the aggregation
capabilities, it shows
performance of an
application in a time-based
distribution.

Advanced charts
A dialog allows you to customize
charts to show the exact information you need for selected transactions.
More transaction attributes
Several new
attributes are now collected, bringing the total number of attributes
collected to 13.
The new attributes that are displayed by default are:
- Domain Name – the host and domain portions of the full URL (such
as www.google.com).
- Net Response Time – Time spent in this transaction, not counting
the time spent in any subtransactions.
- Data Length – Data length available from the http header, if any
(it might be blank for some transactions provided by JavaScript or
loaded from cache).
- MIME-type – Document type, such as text/html, text/css,
application/x-javascript, or image/png.
There are also several more attributes collected that are hidden by
default but are available for viewing if desired:
- Total Response Time – Time from when the transaction started
until the latest time that it or any of its subtransactions stopped.
It is generally identical to Duration unless there are asynchronous
transactions that keep running after a parent transaction completes.
- Total Data Length – Sum of the lengths of a transaction and all
its subtransactions.
- URL (No Params) – Same as the URL but truncated after the first
"?", which can be useful for sorting and summarizing.
Child transactions
By looking at child
transactions in addition to the initial click and browser refresh you
can see behind the scenes and see which part of the transaction is slow.
Powerful filters
You can now filter and sort the
data in many different ways, making it easier to eliminate noise data
and focus in on what is important.
Timeline
You can now see exactly when parent and
child transactions occurred, and view parallelism of the transactions.
Summary reports
You now have the option of
grouping transactions to look at response times in addition to viewing
individual transactions. You can also look at summary data, such as
maximums, minimums and averages.
Multiple user comparison
Comparing performance
across multiple users makes it easier to understand what is going on
with the system.
Greater control over data collection
You now have
finely detailed control over what transactions are captured, which
protects your privacy.
Easier to send data to support
A non-technical
user can now easily collect and send response time data to technical
support, which means that help desk can give RTI to end users to let
them document performance problems.
