Hi folks. One challenge I have on my plate is providing my company with a viable user experience dashboard.
We are currently investigating products to add to our existing vendor based APM suite, but I also want to take this opportunity to see how we can use Splunk appropriately to do this type of analysis.
Curious on how the users here are solving a similar use case? Thanks!
Disclaimer: I am a partner and vendor with a browser UX technology.
I would say the answer depends on what exactly you are monitoring.
Are you trying to monitor how specific applications or sites perform in the browser? Are you trying to instrument specific components or sub-frames or transactions?
Are you looking for high-level metrics about the browser (e.g., load times, resource utilization, etc.), but not deep diving instrumentation?
Thanks for your response.
Ideally what we are looking for is to stat with some high level metrics like you had mentioned. This would be a mix between both internal and external users. Sounds like based on your response that essentially we will need to supplement splunk with the use of a vendor driven solution to get the metrics we are looking for.
I will have to take a look at the two products you mentioned as that would surely solve a gap when it comes to monitoring a tool like Citrix, so I really appreciate the insight there.
