In New Relic's APM Transactions View, what does the shaded area mean?


In this screenshot of the APM Transactions view from New Relic's online help, screenshot of Transactions UI

What does the shaded are that I have circled in red ink indicate? I've been unable to find this in their documentation. (In this specific case, the top transaction's entire bar is shaded, but this is not always the case in my production environment)


Solution

  • shaded area = progress bar, it's a UI feature that display the time as a percent based of the max time display, meaning first row consider as 100% and each row "progress bar" is calculated accordingly

    It helps to visualize the difference between rows

    In your case 7.78 is 100% and other rows are shown the progress bar as percentage of 7.78.
