You can find results of interest in two ways:

• Manually: filter results by status to view only failed tests, and sort results by response time to find unusually slow (or fast) responses.

• Navigate to a specific run from the charts and Run History in the Monitor Summary, Monitor Availability, or Monitor Performance dashboard.

• Navigate to a specific run from the Errors dashboard.

You can expand the runs to view the results for individual actions and test steps. In the expanded view, click the steps to expand and drill further into details.

The appearance and data of the expanded view depends on the monitor type:

• Web and Real-Browser Monitor Results

• API Monitor Results

• BitBar Monitor Results

Test On Demand	Runs the monitor immediately from the same location the test was performed from. You can use this to verify that an error condition has been resolved.
Waterfall	Shows the page loading timeline, content breakdown, top slowest resources, top largest resources, and detailed timing data for individual resources such as images, JavaScript, or CSS.
Event Details	Click a test step (in API monitors) or event (in DéjàClick monitors) to open a request waterfall chart with transaction traces.
Error code	Test steps that found errors have the error code next to them. For a list of error codes and troubleshooting tips, see AlertSite Status Codes.
Repeating Script	Monitors with the Enable Local Retry option enabled repeat the failed test from the same location to verify the error. The Repeating Script label indicates the beginning of the local retry. For details, see Local Retry and Remote Verification.
AppDynamics snapshot	Monitors enabled for AppDynamics transaction traces provide links to view transaction snapshots in AppDynamics. For details, see Transaction Traces below.

If you integrated AlertSite with AppDynamics, and enabled your monitors for transaction tracing, the monitor run results contain links to AppDynamics transaction snapshots. A transaction snapshot shows method calls and SQL queries executed on the server when it was processing the transaction, and contains other server-side performance details that can help you troubleshoot performance issues.

Pages and requests that have transaction snapshots are marked with the icon. Click this icon to view the snapshot.
