Transactions

The Transaction page is the central repository for transaction analysis in Control Plane Monitor. You can analyze the transaction traversing the platform in real-time or historically. Control Plane Monitor automatically correlates the transactions into End-to-End transactions.

This page contains two panels: the top one shows the Diameter transactions KPI while the bottom one contains the recent S6/S13 transactions.
