Planning Project Attributes

For this tutorial you will plan three measures. Pick measure names that indicate the hierarchy and purpose of the measures. In this example, a measure counts the number of processes on a SunOs system and includes two measures that measure HTTP requests (Performed using WebUrl):

SunOs\Processes\CountNrOfProcesses
SunOs\Http Server\URI1
SunOs\Http Server\URI2

The intended hierarchy will then look like the following:

  SunOs
    Processes
      CountNrOfProcesses
    Http Server
      URI1
      URI2

A BDL script with two user groups and two transactions is written. See the table below to see how measures are assigned to transactions and how transactions relate to user groups.

User Group	Transaction	Measure
VMonitor	TSnap	CountNrOfProcesses
VWebMon	TWebSnap	URI1
VWebMon	TWebSnap	URI2

With projects that include numerous transactions and/or user groups, measures must be specified with the corresponding user group and assigned measure. This differs from the basic use case outlined previously, which involved only one transaction and one user group.

Open the project attributes editor at Projects > Project Attribute and enter the following data:

#BDLMonitor1.Name	string	SunOs\Processes\CountNrOfProcesses
#BDLMonitor1.Type	string	AvgCounter
#BDLMonitor1.Enabled	boolean	True

#BDLMonitor1.Usergroup	string	VMonitor
#BDLMonitor1.Transaction	string	TSnap
#BDLMonitor2.Name	string	SunOs\Http Server\URI1
#BDLMonitor2.Type	string	AvgCounter
#BDLMonitor2.Enabled	boolean	true
#BDLMonitor2.Script	string	remote.bdf
#BDLMonitor2.Usergroup	string	VWebMon
#BDLMonitor2.Transaction	string	TWebSnap
#BDLMonitor3.Name	string	SunOs\Http Server\URI2
#BDLMonitor3.Type	string	AvgCounter
