Elastic APM @CaptureTransaction

Sumukh_H · April 1, 2020, 7:22am

Kibana version: 7.5.2

Elasticsearch version: 7.5.2

APM Server version:

APM Agent language and version: 1.11.0 java

While using the @CaptureTransaction(value = 'Task') it was supposed to create a new tab with all the transactions called under that api but it does not seem to be working.
is there something else i need to mention.

felixbarny · April 1, 2020, 8:19am

What exactly is not working? Is it creating no transaction at all? Or is it creating a transaction but you would like it to be separated form the rest of your transaction?

Make sure you set application_packages - that's a prerequisite for the @CaptureTransaction annotation to work.

If you want your transactions to be separate, set a different type. The default type is request which makes them appear in the same list as the regular transactions.

For example: @CaptureTransaction(type = "Task")

Sumukh_H · April 1, 2020, 9:00am

It is creating a transaction but it is not separating it from the rest. @CaptureTransaction(type = "Task") i have done this as well.
application packages has been set as well

felixbarny · April 1, 2020, 9:56am

Make sure that you don't set value = "Task" but type = "Task". If that doesn't help, could you send me the JSON document of the transaction form the Discover tab in Kibana?

this is the document

This is a span document, not a transaction. You can filter down the discover view filtering for ~~processor.type: "transaction"~~ processor.event: "transaction".

Sumukh_H · April 1, 2020, 12:56pm

did you mean processor.name: transaction because i do not seem to find processor.type:transaction

felixbarny · April 1, 2020, 1:04pm

Sorry, I mean processor.event

This is not a transaction created by @CaptureTransaction.

What I'm trying to figure out: When setting @CaptureTransaction(type: "Task"), the transactions created by this annotation should have "type": "Task" in discover. In that case, there's also a selector transaction type selector in the transaction overview/service detail page where you can filter to see transactions of a particular type (default is request).

Sumukh_H · April 1, 2020, 2:44pm

This picture shows that only one type of transaction type is being created i.e request

felixbarny · April 1, 2020, 3:04pm

We have unit tests that the type is set correctly using @CaptureTransaction(type = "Task").

github.com

elastic/apm-agent-java/blob/96b7d60e4edcb39242ab5d7922111d52fd9c1023/apm-agent-plugins/apm-api-plugin/src/test/java/co/elastic/apm/api/AnnotationApiTest.java#L87


void testType() {
    testTransactionAndSpanTypes(true);
    testTransactionAndSpanTypes(false);
}


private void testTransactionAndSpanTypes(boolean useLegacyTyping) {
    reporter.reset();
    AnnotationTestClass.transactionWithType(useLegacyTyping);
    assertThat(reporter.getTransactions()).hasSize(1);
    assertThat(reporter.getFirstTransaction().getNameAsString()).isEqualTo("transactionWithType");
    assertThat(reporter.getFirstTransaction().getType()).isEqualTo("job");


    assertThat(reporter.getSpans()).hasSize(1);
    Span internalSpan = reporter.getFirstSpan();

    assertThat(internalSpan.getType()).isEqualTo("ext");
    assertThat(internalSpan.getSubtype()).isEqualTo("http");
    assertThat(internalSpan.getAction()).isEqualTo("okhttp");
}


@Test

Please make sure that you set the type and not the value and that there's a recorded transaction for the method you annotated.
