What does the Live Preview option in a Business Transaction Discovery Session allow a user to do?

In Cisco AppDynamics, the Live Preview option within a Business Transaction Discovery Session is designed to stream live entry points currently executing in your application. This feature enables Performance Analysts to observe real-time traffic and identify unmonitored or newly deployed entry points without waiting for standard node synchronization. By streaming these entry points directly from the application agent, users can accurately select the specific requests they want to track and immediately formulate Custom Match Rules or exclude irrelevant traffic. This ensures that the Business Transaction detection configuration aligns perfectly with the actual live traffic patterns, optimizing monitoring accuracy and reducing unnecessary overhead.

A. Live Preview is used to discover and stream entry points before creating rules, not to test if already established rules are working.

B. It streams specific entry point data for transaction discovery purposes, not raw application or agent streaming logs.

C. It focuses on streaming transaction entry points (like URIs or web services), not searching all running classes and methods on the system.
