PurePath Technology: The Effective Way to Identify Solutions

Innovative PurePath technology is at the core of dynaTrace Diagnostics. PurePath technology enables deep root-cause analysis and facilitates entirely new methods of measuring performance and pin-pointing problems:

1. Dynamic Diagnosis of Business Transactions

By measuring actual business transactions initiated by endusers and software clients, dynaTrace Diagnostics goes well beyond simply registering average values. Collected values enable true-to-life correlation between end-user experience and the performance of individual system layers through which transactions pass, such as Web, application, and database servers. Such precision diagnosis offers clear identification of the factors influencing the performance of specific business transactions - and eliminates the need for time consuming trial-and-error procedures.

2. Deep Insight with KnowledgeSensors

Another advantage of dynaTrace Diagnostics is that detected values (down to the code level) are correlated with methods, classes, and SQL statements. In addition to registering response times, KnowledgeSensors detect system-specific information regarding performance-critical mechanisms, such as object serialization, data volume, and memory use. This allows you to clearly detect where and how problems can be solved.

3. Documentation and Reconstruction of Performance Problems

dynaTrace Diagnostics documents all performance and stability problems, allowing easy reconstruction of issues. Existing problems can be clearly communicated between test experts, support teams, administrators, and software developers - promoting quick and targeted problem reconstruction and resolution. This advantage protects your investment in your application and improves your entire application life-cycle by optimizing performance in both test and production systems.

4. Diagnosis across Multi-Tier Applications

The technologies integrated into dynaTrace Diagnostics allow you to analyze business transactions across multiple server tiers. Tiers may reside on different platforms, including J2SE/J2EE and .NET. Such a comprehensive view over the performance characteristics of applications allows targeted performance optimization and dramatically reduces the time required for problem resolution.

5. Correlation of Context Information

User-data entry and onscreen operations that result in performance degradation typically can't be detected in even the most sophisticated of test scenarios. By recording context information along with user entries, method arguments, log entries, and exceptions, dynaTrace Diagnostics is the first tool of its kind to allow fast and targeted diagnosis of datasensitive performance loss. This feature offers considerable advantage in the detection and elimination of configuration and source-code issues.
