Correlate traces to track Business Workflows 🔗


Available in Enterprise Edition


Business Workflows generate Monitoring and Troubleshooting MetricSets for traces that fit Business Workflow rules. You can configure Business Workflow rules to group logically-related traces by services or global tags, or monitor performance indicators on transactions with dashboards and alerts.

You can also filter your Troubleshooting view to display only transactions for specific Business Workflows.

Prerequisite

To configure Business Workflows, you must have the admin role.

Follow these steps to configure Business Workflow rules to track related traces in Splunk APM:

  1. Create or change a workflow rule.

  2. Turn on the workflow rule.

  3. Set the priority of the rule relative to any other rules.

  4. Save your changes to the workflow rule set.
