Tracking Background Transaction

Apart from web transactions, most applications run background tasks to perform various tasks like maintenance, schedulers, messaging, etc. APM Insight also captures these transactions and list them under Background tab in APM Insight dashboard.
For the agent to track background transactions, it has to be enabled in background_transaction.conf file. To configure settings for background transaction, refer below:

Configuration	Description	Default
