Difference b/w Slow & Error transaction ? How they are configured , which all transaction is slow & which are classified as error how do we know ?

Environment

Release APM : 10.7.0

Component : Introscope

Resolution

The slow transactions are the ones which take more than 30 seconds (default value for stall metric) and also the ones where alert is configured and triggered.

 

So if there is an alert configured for 5 seconds and if the metric value crosses 5 sec then that transaction will fall in slow transactions category.

The transaction crosses 2s of response time, it can be seen in the histogram in 2s+ transactions, but what time threshold should it be breaching to be considered as slow transaction, keeping aside the stalled transactions.
