    Support answer:

    The application name should automatically be included in all Transaction events from APM apps under the appName attribute. You can include additional custom attributes - such as the number of users - in Transaction events by calling the agent API as outlined here: https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/agents/manage-apm-agents/agent-data/collect-custom-attributes#enabling-custom.

    For example, in Java:

    NewRelic.addCustomParameter("numberOfUsers", numberOfUsers);
