Analyzing the Performance of Your CSP Application

Reveille enables you to get to the bottom of application performance issues across your content platform:

• See performance as your users see it.
• Get ahead of problems in real time.
• Understand and report on customer experience and trends
• Know before users do, react before they are impacted, exceed your service obligations.

You can create a dashboard to:

• Understand response times, peak loading, load patterns and capacity needs at a glance.
• Fix problems immediately with real-time alerts or avoid them altogether with automated remediation.
• Correlate document business transactions with CSP and database message flows to identify bottlenecks and tier-level performance.

In this example, you want to know how well your content services repository is performing. For this example dashboard, you’ll create one card with two visuals, taking just three basic steps:

1. Create a dashboard and one card
2. Add the Active Session Count visual
3. Add the Application User Count visual

The upper visual will look like this:
