APM FMS Server performance is poor overall. Moving through different dashboards in the web UI is taking too many seconds. Very sluggish UI.
Dynamic property evaluations happening over-and-over again. This is causing millions of unnecessary evaluations per hour of the .NET transaction object properties. Essentially a CPU-leak. This issue is being tracked as APM-5256 and APM-5155 and APMDATA-960.
This problem occurs when you are not running the latest most recent software versions (specifics on that below) and have a large number (thousands) of any of the below types of objects:
--for End User: Transactions, WebSites, End Points.
--for Java EE/.Net: custom Application Transactions.
You may encounter this issue:
--with End-User objects if you have a APM EndUser cartridge that is pre-5.9.3.5 (if you have the 5.9.3 October patch, 5.9.3-20131029-15, you will also be ok)
--with .NET-only/Java-only transaction objects if you have a APM Operations-Applications cartridge that is pre-5.9.4
WORKAROUND
A "types" fix that sets 'is-containment' to "false" on certain .NET transaction objects types such as "Custom Application Transaction", and others. The import will eliminate these unnecessary evaluations.
Steps:
1. Navigate to Administration | Data | Add Topology Type
2. The text field will contain the following text:
<!DOCTYPE types SYSTEM "../dtd/topology-types.dtd">
<types>
</types>
3. Unzip the Cloud attachment "types1.zip" and open up types1.xml file in notepad.
4. Copy and paste the contents of "types1.xml" in between <types> and </types>, i.e.:
<!DOCTYPE types SYSTEM "../dtd/topology-types.dtd">
<types>
***PASTE THE FILE CONTENTS HERE***
</types>
5. Click "Validate" to ensure the copy-paste was done correctly
6. Click "Import"
RESOLUTION
Fixed in Application Operations cartridge version 5.9.4 and End User cartridge version 5.9.3.5. These will be released around Dec.20th.
