Specifications

Resource Definitions
times need to be included in the total response time calculation. Therefore,
these processes must be specified in the additional section.
Connection: Tracking Server and Network Time
Many of the default application rule sets include the following line in the
additional section of their resource definitions:
additional
{
resource Connection { }
}
Even when Connection events are not used to define transactions, this
definition is important because it enables Application Response to monitor
server time and network time, in addition to client time, for transactions.
Because no parameters are specified, Application Response monitors network
connections for all required executable names, hostnames, ports, and URLs.
This is the recommended practice.
If you want to monitor server time and network time (in addition to client
time) you must specify the Connection resource even if it is not referenced in
the transaction definitions.
If you remove the Connection resource definition, Application Response cannot
monitor server time and network time for transactions. In addition, the client
time statistics that Application Response calculates may be inaccurate,
because Application Response cannot determine the application’s network
activity periods.
