   • BLook at the database backend's average response time during the failure windows.
   • CDisable the database backend to see if the transaction failures stop.
   • DCorrelate the timing of the database backend errors with the transaction failures to see if they align.

   A company has multiple databases with similar names across different environments (dev, test, prod). The backends are currently named generically, making it hard to distinguish them. What is the best way to improve backend naming for clarity?

   • AUse transaction snapshots to identify each database call.
   • BUse backend detection rules to customize the backend name based on environment-specific properties, such as the host or connection string.
   • CRename the databases themselves to be more unique.
   • DDisable automatic backend detection and manually create each backend.
