Workflow

Core Analysis: Graph Analysis Workflow

Core Analysis processes leverage APM data to identify opportunities for business improvement. When the process identifies such an opportunity, a Performance Recommendation is raised to communicate the need and track the required work. You can use the Graph Analysis Workflow process to identify opportunities or needs for improvement based on generated graphs that identify bad actors or high-impact failures.

In the following workflow diagram, the blue text in a shape indicates that the corresponding description has been provided in the sections that follow the diagram. For more information, refer to the Interpreting the Workflow Diagrams topic in the APM Product Workflows documentation.

Note: For information on the personas associated with a APM module, refer to the APM Product Workflows documentation.

Start

Persona: Analyst

To satisfy a specific business problem, a APM User initiates a core analysis that applies standard data analysis techniques.

Design a Graph

Persona: Analyst

To satisfy a specific business need, design a graph to display specific data from APM entities. Graph design is based on predefined query designs.

Run the Graph

Persona: Analyst

Execute the graph to produce results, and modify the graph design to achieve the desired result.

Review Graph Results

Persona: Analyst

Analyze the graph results. The graph can identify bad actors or high-impact failures for further analysis. In the analysis of graph results, consult other forms of APM data.

Opportunity Exists?

Persona: Analyst

If a APM User identifies an opportunity or need for improvement, then a Performance Recommendation is raised to communicate the need and track the required work. Otherwise, the workflow ends.

Manage Performance Recommendations

Persona: Analyst

If a APM User identifies an opportunity or need for improvement, then a Performance Recommendation is raised to communicate the need and track the required work.

Go to the Manage Performance Recommendations workflow.
