Hi,

We have java APM instrumenting our production workload. In kibana we have latency graph (inside Transactions dashboard) and I don't know if this latency meassuremente take in account Java STW time (Garbage Collector). If not the case, how can I get an aggregation of the latency and STW time?

Tahnk you very much.

Best regards
