Hi Team, As in Appmon we have sensor placement feature which helps in 1) start a purepath with that method mentioned in sensor 2) capture the method in any relevant purepath where in the purepath tree method will be shown So in Oneagent point 1 can be achieved by custom service detection and a new service will be created for that particular method but how to achieve point 2 in oneagent where I need to capture the method in a service which is already detected. Thanks, Gopikrishnan ---

1) is correct, Custom service is the approach. 2) Still, Custom service is the approach to take also in the this case. A new service will be created and if you view PurePath from the already detected service, it will be shown as a called service. Depending on your use case, method hotspot analysis might be also useful. ---

Hi Julius, Is there any option to not make it as a separate service and show it in the existing purepath tree itself? ---

No, it will always be a separate service. This is a difference from Appmon behaviour. What use case are you trying to solve? ---

There is a websocket communication happening in my application and I have created a custom service for the same. Though the front end response time is high I cannot see the same in dynatrace. Front end is having 4 seconds response but custom service shows response time in ms. So I guess there are more methods before or after which are not captured and need to capture the same. ---

And what is the response time at service which is the entry point? ---

There is only this one custom service as of now I have configured and this is showing response time in ms. Now am still asking the developer whether there is any other entry point except this because I cannot see where the response time is spent since browser shows 4 secs response time.
