AbstractThe CA Application Performance Management (CA APM) monitoring solution serves multiple stakeholders in an organization. The power of multi-dimension perspectives provides you with the capability to look at your monitored environment from multiple angles combined with extensive drilldown capabilities. Join this hands-on lab to understand how different environmental attributes in CA APM can be accessed to create role and task relevant views into even the most complex monitoring environments.
