When an Information Point is created, AppDynamics automatically collects three core method-level KPIs: Response Time, Errors per Minute, and Calls per Minute.
Response Time measures how long the configured class and method take to execute. This enables the Performance Analyst to identify degradation in a critical internal operation and compare current behavior with historical trends or baselines.
Errors per Minute records the rate at which executions of the Information Point encounter errors. This provides direct visibility into failures associated with the monitored method, even when that method is not itself a Business Transaction entry point.
Calls per Minute measures invocation frequency. It is useful for tracking operational activity such as cache access, pricing calculations, order processing, or calls to a business-critical internal service.
Minimum Response Time, Maximum Response Time, and CPU Time are not the three standard KPIs automatically generated for an Information Point in this context. Additional business values can be collected separately by configuring custom data or custom metrics.
