SubFlavors

FusionReactor monitors many requests and transactions of different types. Through the use of Transit, FusionReactor is able to split these requests and transactions into their different categories. These categories are known as flavors. It is possible to break down these flavors even further to sub-categories based on the different purposes of the request. These categories are in turn, known as subflavors.

SubFlavor examples

Example 1: Subflavors for Web Requests

Example

• Web would be the flavor of the request.
• Different subflavors of this would be the HTTP methods of the Web Request, such as:
  • GET
  • POST
  • DELETE
  • OPTIONS
  • PUT
  • CONNECT

Example 2: Subflavors for JDBC Requests

Example

• JDBC would be the flavor of the request.
• Different subflavors of this would be the statement types, such as:
  • CREATE
  • UPDATE
  • INSERT
  • DELETE

These subflavors can be monitored by FusionReactor to give an even further breakdown of what is happening on an application server.

Info

New flavors and subFlavors will only appear after a page refresh. Using the refresh timer will not show any new subflavors as they are detected by FusionReactor.

Custom SubFlavors

Through FusionReactor's API (FRAPI), it is possible to create your own flavors and subflavors. Use the code below:

final BaseTransaction transaction = FRAPI.getFRAPI().createTransaction("flavor");

transaction.setSubFlavour("subFlavor");

transaction.close();
