Description and default values for configuration options

Configuration	Description	Default Value
Apdex Threshold (T)	Application Performance Index (simply called Apdex) is measurement of an Application's Performance ranging from 0 to 1. Detailed information about Apdex can be found at www.apdex.org If any transaction response time scores values below the apdex.threshold value, the transaction is labeled as Satisfied. If any transaction response time scores above four times the apdex.threshold, the transaction is labeled as Frustrated. If it is exactly equal to apdex.threshold or in between satisfied and frustrated threshold value it is labeled as Tolerating.	0.5 (seconds)
Capture database SQL queries	Enabling this option will listen to all SQL Queries which gets executed. If this option is disabled, no Database Metrics will be collected.	True
Enable transaction tracing	Enabling this option will construct Trace for Slow Transactions. You can view the traces collected in Site24x7 APM Insight Edition Page by selecting Traces tab.	True
Transaction tracing threshold	Trace of any transaction whose response time scoring above the specified threshold value will be collected, provided if transaction.trace.enabled is set to true. The trace can be used to analyze, troubleshoot the transaction working.	2 (seconds)
Parametrize SQLs in transaction trace	Enabling this option will quantitatively describe all the SQL Queries in Slow Transaction Traces. (if sql.capture.enabled set to true & transaction.trace.enabled set to true) Disabling this option will give you the real query (with parameters). It is recommended to enable this option if there are queries getting executed using confidential parameters like credit card number, passwords, etc.	True
Stacktrace threshold for SQLs in transaction trace	Enabling this option will collect the stacktrace whenever any SQL query is executed above this threshold time value.	3(seconds)
Sampling factor	Sampling factor helps in tracking sampled transactions. If set to 5, APMInsight tracks only 1 in 5 requests of the same kind.	1 (request)
