The Browser App Dashboard

• a widget-based overview
• a geo dashboard displaying where your requests originate, including a variety of key performance metrics
• a set of snapshots, with detailed information on single request instances.
• a set of aggregated usage statistics, by browser and device type

Accessing the Browser App Dashboard View

1. Open the EUM application in which you are interested.
2. On the left navigation bar, select Browser App Dashboard.
3. Click the tab for the view you want to access.

Overview

The Browser App Overview displays a set of configurable widgets, showing multiple graphs and lists featuring common high-level indicators of application performance.  You can delete widgets using the X in the upper right corner and re-add them using the Add Widgets icon.  

Geo Dashboard

The Browser App Geo Dashboard displays key performance metrics by geographic location, based on page loads.

The dashboard is divided into three panels:

• A main panel in the upper left displaying geographic distribution of end users and the status of their requests on a map, if you selected the map view icon, or on a grid if you clicked the grid view icon.

• A panel on the right displaying key timings

• A lower panel with dynamics trend graphs of KPIs

The metrics displayed throughout the dashboard are for the region currently selected on the map or in the grid. For example, if you zoom down from world view to France in the map, the summary panels and the trend graphs display data for France.

If you are using Synthetic with this application,  you can choose to see either RUM or Synthetic data in the Geo Dashboard.

See Browser RUM Metrics for definitions of the metrics.

Unknown Locations in Map and Grid Views

An unknown location is one for which the agent cannot determine the country from which the request originated.

You may also see metrics reported for a location named "Anonymous Proxy". The data for Anonymous Proxy represents the aggregated metrics from one or more private IP addresses that the agent cannot identify.

One of the effects of Unknown regions is that it possible for a country to display as slow (red circles) on the global map, but when you drill down to the country all its regions appear normal (green circles). Or a country may display as normal on the global map, but some subregions may display as slow when you drill down.

Browser Snapshots

Browser snapshots capture and display a broad set of metrics associated with a single request. You can drill down into errors, and, if your app server is instrumented with server-side app agents, see any server-side transaction snapshots associated with that request.  For more detailed information, see Browser Snapshots.

Usage Stats

The Browser App Usage Stats view presents aggregated page-load usage data based on your users' browser type and device/platform.

Using the Usage Stats View

The Browsers dashboard helps you discover:

• the slowest browsers in terms of total end-user response time.
• the slowest browsers to render the response page.
• the browsers that most of your end users use.
• the browsers that most of your end users use in a particular country or region.

The Devices dashboard helps you discover:

• The slowest devices in terms of total end-user response time
• The slowest devices to connect to the server
• The devices that most of your end users use

• The devices that most of your end users use in a particular country or region
