There so many moving parts that this could either be a great tool to analyze data or it could open up a can of worms which could lead down the road to network re-architecture. If this takes into account best effort or SLA based ISP, Network topology, QoS, Packet Prioritization, etc then I think it could be a useful tool. Without it it's just a tool that spits out pretty pictures. If your main selling point is data then it has to be more than just what latency can show.

hi there,

The post is about selecting a top level metric for monitoring website performance. One a problem is indicated, you would definitely need to drill in to figure out what part of your app is affected, when, and what caused it.

LeanSentry (our own application monitoring product, https://www.leansentry.com) does this. However, describing this was outside the scope of my post (but you can see the demo of it on the website).
