# Setting the Performance Collection Level

It is important to understand what influences the rules performance. For example, database delays, the user of external/networked services, the need to call the underlying application *(as done by the HTTP Response Addition and HTTP Server Execute rules)* all can add considerable transaction delays beyond the control of Composable Agentic Platform.\
\
The amount of data you see will depend on the performance collection level set in the configuration deployed to the server.

For production environments with stable rule sets it is highly recommended to set the level to Transaction count only. Collecting performance information has an overhead on its own.
