Application Performance improvement evaluation after new code deployment

[rohit_sharma]

Hi,

I want to know if performance of our application got improved after deployment of a new code last week. Is there any way we can do it and any specific performance parameters we can focus upon to showcase this ?

Hello!

Application info page. Most sections has [Compate to previous time frame]. Some from very first app page:

Thank you Igor, I believe we can compare real user monitoring based upon your inputs

Hi,

As Igor said you can see this information at Application page > Select your App > On dashlet "Impact of user actions on performance" click at Compare to previous time frame. (Or directly use the metrics like Visual complete to compare with previous timeframes). You can perform this at Application level or User Action level.

If you do not have RUM licenses, so no Applications, you have to go at Service level to compare times. Select the Service you are interested in Transactions & Services > Response Time > Click on "More.." to show the button of "Compare". You will be able to compare response time, failure rate, cpu and load of that service in different timeframes.

Keep in mind that you could send to Dynatrace Custom events to get annotations about new releases

https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/how-to-use-dynatrace/problem-detection-and-analysis/basic-concepts/event-types/info-events/ , it can help you to identify when some changes where introduced to the application. Also you could integrate this with your deployment script to automatically send a new Custom event with every release.
