Testing capture group communications

After you create the capture groups for your environment, you can click Test to verify that the Sniffers and Archivers are communicating. If any errors appear, you may need to edit an Archiver definition or a Sniffer definition.

Managing sessionizing policies

Sessionizing is the process by which Foglight correlates hits in the monitored web traffic with real user sessions. Sessionizing policies describe how user sessions are identified and managed within your monitored web applications.
You need to modify the default sessionizing policy (or create a new sessionizing policy) to include session identifiers for your monitored web applications. For example, many applications use cookies containing session identifiers to track user sessions. In the sessionizing policy, you can also set options that define boundaries for sessions, such as the maximum number of hits per session, the maximum length of a session, and timeout rules. Typically, your sessionizing policies should align closely with the session management techniques employed by your applications.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: To collect accurate and complete session details, ensure that your sessionizing policies mirror your application session management policies. Hits containing session identifiers other than those identified in the sessionizing policy are still captured and stored, but they do not belong to a session and do not have any session details associated with them.
To define and manage sessionizing policies, navigate to APM > Configure > Traffic Capture > Sessionizing Policies.

In the Sessionizing Policy dashboard, you can perform the following tasks:

Understanding the default sessionizing policy

The default sessionizing policy contains the common session identifier variables used by major programming languages to identify user sessions. By default, Foglight looks for session identifiers under the following variable names:
•
aspsessionid (default for ASP applications)
•
asp.net_sessionid (default for ASP.NET® applications)
•
sessionid
•
jsessionid — cookie (default for Java™ applications)
•
jsessionid — URL parameter (default for Java™ applications)
•
phpsessid (default for PHP applications)
•
siteserver.id
In many cases, the default policy is all you need. For more information, see Deciding when to add more sessionizing policies.
Figure 13. Edit Sessionizing Policy dashboard
You can edit the default sessionizing policy to add or remove session identifiers or to change the options to suit your environment. You can also add rules to associate user names with user sessions. The URL Prefix view is reserved for non-default sessionizing policies.

Deciding when to add more sessionizing policies

When web applications use different session identifiers to identify user sessions, you need to add the session identifiers to a sessionizing policy. Whether you create a new sessionizing policy or update the default sessionizing policy depends on the type of web application you want to monitor.
If you want to monitor one of the following applications, you need to create a new policy:
•
Microsoft® SharePoint®
•
Oracle® PeopleSoft
•
Oracle® Siebel
For all other types of applications, you should modify the default policy to add the session identifiers required by your web sites and web applications. If you discover a conflict later on, you can create a new policy to handle just the conflict situation.
Conflicts are unlikely, but they may occur. For example, if most of a site uses sessionid to pass identifiers, but a small section of the site uses sessionid for an entirely different purpose, you need to create a new sessionizing policy for the part of the site that is non-standard.
When defining an additional sessionizing policy, Foglight prompts you to select the type of application you want to monitor. It uses this information to populate the Add Sessionizing Policy dashboard with session identifiers and other settings appropriate for the selected type of application. The following table summarizes the sessionizing policy templates:
 
Table 8. When you need to add sessionizing policies
Template
Description
Other
This is a blank template with no default settings.
PeopleSoft
Contains default session identifiers and username rules appropriate for Oracle® PeopleSoft applications.
SharePoint
Contains default session identifiers and username rules appropriate for Microsoft® SharePoint® applications.
Siebel
Contains default session identifiers and username rules appropriate for Oracle® Siebel applications.
You can modify settings as required to suit your environment. You can also target the sessionizing policy to a specific domain name or extended URL prefix. For more information, see Defining sessionizing policies.
