Many of us begin the New Year by making resolutions. We resolve to shed pounds or bad habits, and take up new hobbies. We look at the New Year as a fresh start to give us needed momentum.

For application performance monitoring (APM) and network performance management (NPM), let's resolve to troubleshoot faster by bringing end-user experience metrics, infrastructure monitoring, and application performance data all into one dashboard.

With Riverbed Performance Management (RPM) Dashboards 2.3, you can now include both APM and NPM data in one, easy-to-navigate dashboard. You no longer have to fiddle around with accessing a specific user interface (UI) or dashboard for one solution and another UI or dashboard for another solution. It's all available in one place with the release of RPM Dashboards 2.3 and the integration of Cascade® Profiler NPM reports.

Let's take a quick tour of a sample dashboard:

1. Heat map of the end-user experience: Sourcing data from  BrowserMetrix, the heat-map provides an at-a-glance view of end-user experience around the globe. Use it to quickly identify regional outages or issues. Try BrowserMetrix for free for 30 days.  

2. Health of servers hosting the apps: Using data from Cascade® Profiler, the server throughput and server health reports can help you spot a bottleneck brewing in your application's infrastructure. You can try Cascade Profiler for free for 30 days.

3. Results of proactive database tests: Pulling results from AppSensor Xpert™, the synthetic database response time test provide a health check for applications. Rather than waiting for users to encounter a problem, these tests help you make sure your apps are ready when your business depends on it.

4. Metrics from application component monitoring: Gathering metrics from AppInternals Xpert®, the .NET health widget help you quickly detect whether performance issues are coming from the application itself.

With all these data sources available on a single-pane of glass, you can now solve application and network performance issues faster. Data sources for RPM Dashboards now include: Riverbed® AppResponse Xpert®, Cascade® Profiler (NEW!), AppInternals Xpert®, BrowserMetrix™, and AppSensor Xpert™.

Riverbed Performance Management helps you troubleshoot location-independent computing issues faster by showing all the network and app data all in one place. Whether in a broad view of network infrastructure, a deep dive in the application code, or from IP conversations of your most critical apps, Riverbed provides easy-to-navigate dashboards served from the web in a single user interface.
