Release 4.8.0 is intended for a major revamp of Cavisson products in a new unified interface. This document provides information about the new Unified Dashboard, enhancements, and performance improvements in Cavisson products.
Integrated Performance Engineering Platform
Cavisson introduces the Integrated Performance Engineering Platform to enrich your experience by providing an end-to-end capability within a unified dashboard. The unified dashboard framework enhances the agility and enriches the capabilities where the performance users can navigate issues faced on the browser and can drill-down to method level issues and corresponding logs. This capability provides a seamless integration of multiple Cavisson Products, such as Application Performance Management (APM), User Experience/Session Monitoring, and Log Monitoring.
Integrated Performance Engineering Platform Capabilities
- Dashboard
Unified Dashboard
The new Dashboard is more interactive with enhanced colors, better layout, and improved performance. It includes the following features:
Synthetic Monitoring
NetVision SM is an active monitoring approach through simulation of typical user navigation paths using scripts. It monitors availability and various metrics of performance for critical web pages and is based on multi location and supports script recording via multiple channels, such as desktop, mobile, and so on.
- Active monitoring through simulation of typical user navigation paths using scripts.
- Monitors availability and various metrics of performance for critical web pages.
- Multi-Location, Multi-Channel.
- Performance baseline, Manage third party SLA, Benchmark competition.
New feature added:
Monitor multi-channel web site all the time from multi-location
- Measure entire multi-page workflows simulating a complete customer navigation path including form data submission and user-actions click and record scripting of tests.
- Benchmark against the competition and baseline the performance for each critical page through scheduled reporting.
- Real time alerts for any degradation in performance or availability.
Configure service for round the clock availability monitoring
- Agents located at geographically distributed data centers around US
- Add/delete locations as per demand for various jobs
- Use real browsers (Chrome, Firefox) that are used by customers
Analyze Performance issues instantaneously before it impact customers
- Drill down to analyze performance issues against baseline/trend and pin-point what has caused degradation in performance.
- Full resource waterfalls and page performance load times from the browser timing and navigation APIs.
Dig into Back-end issues with integration of SM with NetDiagnostics
- Seamless tracking of web request from front-end to backend server to get insight on backend issues
Tier/service/class/method taking time and identify hot spots
Home Page
In the Home Page screen, we can see the following :
1: List of all synthetic monitors with their status (4 SM are applied in the above snapshot).
2: Observe the availability percentage for each of the monitors.
3: Add new synthetic monitors.
Product Detail – ADD
Script/URL – Enter the URL/Script on which the monitor is supposed to run.
Location – Denotes the different locations from where the synthetic user session can be generated.
Option to select whether the videos of the synthetic sessions will be captured or not. Option for an image recorder is also available.
Synthetic Monitor – Availability
- From the SM Homepage, click on Availability % bar to DDR to this availability report.
2. Once clicked, it leads you to the Overall Availability page for the monitor which denotes the availability of the URL and also a location wise breakdown.
3. There is also an option to view the synthetic sessions created during the monitoring interval.
Synthetic Monitor – Session Records
- This page details the sessions that are generated during the execution of the synthetic monitor.
- The page provides details like: the session duration, location, start time and the browser.
- You can check the sessions that were successful and those that reported an error, enabling you to quickly identify the problematic sessions.
- The users can further drill down from the sessions to view the entire performance of the web pages in the respective sessions.
Web Performance Report
- The Web Vital Performance Report provides a set of three different reports: Web Vital Average Report, Page Average Report & Lighthouse Report.
- Each report summarizes the pages and important metrics for an overview to quickly identify and drill down to the pages that would need immediate attention.
Web Vital Report
- The report provides information about the performance of the website by collecting the real world usage data.
- Using the Web Vital Average metrics, one can optimize the user experience, measure the loading performance, interactivity, and visual stability of your web site.
Page Average Report
- Using the Page Average Report, you can analyze the details of a user session, such as the average page detail, session details, DOM content and page loading time, number of user requests, and page loading time.
- Click on the icon “Page Average Report” to get a list of all the pages that have been captured during the monitor execution.
Resource Waterfall
On the previous page, click on “View Waterfall” against a page to get the complete breakdown of all the components and their timings against a web-page for easy identification of resource intensive activities that occur during the page load.
2. The information is vital in order to optimize your webpages for improving customer experience.
Page Detail Report
- Right click to get to the “Page Detail Report” to get a list of all the instances when a particular page has been hit during the monitor execution.
2. The “Page Detail Report” gives an extensive detail against a particular webpage.
3. There are multiple options for the user from here:
- Page Score Report
- Request Details
- View the visual component analysis
- View Session Details
View Request Details
The Request Details page summarizes the top 5 bottlenecks as mentioned in the picture and the component causing the same with the intent being that the user is able to focus on the erroneous aspect immediately.
Page Score Report
The Page Score report is an important feature that is a recommendation and scoring engine aimed at ranking your webpage and suggesting options to optimize the page from multiple angles like headers, response, JS, third party services etc.
Compare Waterfall
Click on two pages to compare their waterfall breakdown of resources in two instances of the same page. This is highly beneficial to compare an erroneous page with a normal web page to understand the bottlenecks
2. Click on two pages to compare their waterfall breakdown of resources in two instances of the same page. This is highly beneficial to compare an erroneous page with a normal web page to understand the bottlenecks.
Visual Comparison
- Similar to waterfall comparison, you can also compare the visual loading time of two instances of the same page to identify the load time and progress of the webpages, especially helpful when analyzing a slow-loading page to a better-performing one.
Integration with Lighthouse Report
With in-built integration with the powerful Lighthouse report, you can quickly drill down to the overall page health across 4 integral categories – Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices & SEO with added diagnostic capabilities to provide insights on drastically improving the overall user experience
