Hello, this is WhaTap Labs!

A lot of changes are taking place in WhaTap in February. Today, I'd like to introduce the second change!

📍 How are heatmaps different from transaction maps?

A heatmap chart is a method of expressing the number of transactions that occurred over a specific period in density, and when the number of transactions is high, it is displayed in dark color, and when the number of transactions is low, it is displayed in a bright color. In the case of heat maps, transaction distribution information is managed by segment, so trends over a relatively long period of time can also be checked. However, since transactions are summed and displayed in 5-second increments, it is difficult to understand the distribution of individual transactions.

To analyze the distribution of long-term, high-volume transactions, we recommend using a heat map, and using a transaction map to check the detailed status of each short-term transaction, such as performance testing or failure conditions!

The transaction map has changed like this!

A slightly more detailed and convenient filter function

Before

     
• Previously, in order to use the filter function, it was cumbersome to click the button several times. Even if you wanted to sort the TOP 30 by category or change the Y axis of the chart, press each setting button and then select and set additional settings.
     

After

     
• The structure has been reorganized so that filters can be applied on one screen to minimize button clicks.
  Filter No. 1 can be used to search past points in time. For example, transactions with a short execution time can be excluded from the chart using the elapsed time filter, or only selected transactions can be selected and viewed using the transaction filter. Filters 2 and 3 can be conveniently set by changing the tab method, and can be used in both real-time and historical point of view.
     

Slightly more, richer number of trace analyses

Before

     
• Previously, a maximum of 100 items were displayed.
     

After

     
• Up to 1000 items are displayed. When checking a constant pattern or distribution, you can analyze 10 times more traces than before.
     

Here are some secret tips to follow if you want to look like a Wattap expert 🐝

Hidden keyboard event!

     
• After selecting one filter value from the TOP 30 list, you can change the selected value using the up and down arrows.
     
• If you select a chart section in the transaction map, you can change the maximum value on the Y axis using the up and down arrows.
  (*Click the mouse to select the first one.)
     

What if I want to select multiple TOP30 lists?

     
• Press the control button (*command button on Mac) and select the items you want! You can make multiple selections.
