Key Features
dynaTrace Diagnostics provides a number of key features, which in combination are unique on the market and provide
measurable ROI advantages:
PurePath Technology ®
Records and visually maps, 7x24 in production, the precise runtime execution path – PurePath – of each and every
discrete transaction across heterogeneous and distributed application components down to code-level imparting only
minimal performance overhead.
The PurePath contains not only pure performance metrics (e.g., response times, CPU usage), but also
contextual information (e.g., memory usage, method arguments, exceptions, log events, IO usage, SQL calls,
synchronization delays, etc.) in order to enable a precise root-cause analysis.
PurePath Technology thus helps you rapidly find the answers to the questions which are most relevant to resolving
performance problems (e.g., performance bottlenecks, functional errors, memory leaks, synchronisation and
configuration problems, etc.) under load:
- Which component is causing the problem (WHERE)?
- What is the root-cause of the problem (WHY)?

Business Transaction Mapping:
Maps the detailed technical PurePath data to business level enabling
Business Transaction Monitoring and answering questions like:
- Who is affected by a particular problem?
- Which transaction is/was executed by a specific user?
- Which transactions belong to the same user session?
- What is the behaviour of a generic component (e.g., a dispatcher servlet) within a specific use case?
Real-time and Offline Diagnosis:
Using dynaTrace Diagnostics you can analyze the performance of your business critical application in real-time
and offline:
- Real-time diagnosis
Analyze all performance diagnosis data incl. entire PurePaths of even in-flight transactions, and diagnose problems interactively down to the offending lines of code as they are occuring
- Offline diagnosis
Reconstruct and analyze performance problems using recorded Diagnostics Sessions within your local desktop environment
- without having to reproduce problems in a time-consuming fashion. You have access to the same PurePath data and
use the same interactive diagnostics procedures used during real-time diagnosis. This way, you have the flexibility
you need to diagnose application problems offline when it fits into your working schedule.
This grants you the flexibility to diagnose problems at the time and place which best fits into your workflow.
Outside-In and Inside-Out Diagnosis:
Rapidly analyze problem scenarios using one of the following diagnosis procedures when examining PurePaths:
- Outside-In
Diagnose client-side performance issues from the end-user perspective (e.g., poor response times) down to the offending lines of code
- Inside-Out
Analyze problems visible inside the application (e.g., exceptions, slow running methods) up from the code perspective to the affected business transactions and reconstruct what has caused them
Because PurePath Technology automatically records all transactions 7x24, you can always go back and analyze exactly the single transaction that caused a specific problem for the first time.
Visual Hot Sensor Deployment™:
Adapt the granularity of your application monitoring
visually with only a few mouse clicks to easily handle ever-changing diagnostic requirements
on-the-fly without restarting the target application.
This powerful feature facilitates a quick and easy deployment of dynaTrace Diagnostics, and provides
the flexibility and adaptability you need to manage your evolving application portfolio now and into the future.
Integrated Java and .NET Support:
Tune the performance of distributed and heterogeneous Java and .NET applications using a single solution
with a common user interface. This allows you to reduce the
licensing, maintenance and training costs required to support multiple narrowly-focused, special purpose solutions
that operate in only one environment.
