Application Delivery Management

Application usage analytics

December 31, 2023

Contributed by:

Application owners must have the ability to evaluate and visualize the complete application from the perspectives of performance and usage.

The improvised App Dashboard enables you to view all the application performances and usage metrics together. When you click an application, alongside the existing application performance metrics, the Web Insight tab displays the metrics details that help you:

Understand your application usage.
Correlate any performance deviations with the usage metrics.

Web Insight

Note

For each metric, you can view options that indicate maximum value and total value. For example:

- The maximum client network latency for the selected duration. Consider that you have the network latency for client 1 = 30 ms, client 2 = 15 ms, and client 3 = 3 ms. In this scenario, the Client Network Latency displays 30 ms.

- The total bandwidth consumed across all available clients/servers for the selected duration. Consider that you have the bandwidth consumption for client 1 = 30 MB, Client 2 = 45 MB, Client 3 = 40 MB. In this scenario, the Bandwidth displays (30 MB + 45 MB + 40 MB) = 115 MB.

The following are the Web Insight metrics you can view from the Usage tab:
