Use Application Maps

On the Engineering page, the Performance by Application map uses horizontal bars to show the slowest applications. The report also shows the number of observations per application. Click an application link to view detailed reports for the selected application.

An application typically has two parts:

Applications that are not optimized for network transmission can cause a decrease in performance; for example, they could ping pong data across the network, they could open multiple consecutive TCP sessions instead of a persistent TCP session, or they could use a small application/TCP window size for high latency WAN links.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click the Engineering page.
  2. Click Performance, Applications in the Show Me menu.
  3. Click an application in the Performance by Application table.
  4. View the primary indicators by clicking Components and looking at the Data Transfer Time report. Click Response Size and look at the Data Transfer Time by Response Size report.
  5. View the secondary indicators by clicking Traffic and looking at the Data Volume and Data Rate reports. Click Sessions and look at the TCP/IP Sessions reports.
