User Experience dashboard summary – application performance
User Experience is a software module available with the LiveNX Performance and Analytics platform. User Experience proactively monitors end user-experience of cloud based, or on-premise web applications by performing periodic active tests to collect data about your network and application performance.
You can gain insight into the availability and performance for any web-based application anywhere to address issues before they impact users. Correlating end-user experience and network information through integration with LiveNX Application-aware Network Performance Monitoring accelerates problem resolution and significantly simplifies your application performance monitoring challenges.

UX - User Experience: Multi-Cloud Network Visibility
User Experience ComponentsThe key components are:
• Agents – takes measurements while behaving as avirtual user.
• Controllerinthecloud–thecontrolandcollectio pointfor all the data acquired by the agents duringmeasurements and tests.

User Experience Overview
Summary Dashboard of Web Services Performance: – Get a view of your website’s performance and availability and know if there are any problems with your applications.
Network Data Integration: User Experience integrates with LiveNX. For the “managed” part of your network, you can drill down to retrieve NetFlow, QoS and interface related metrics.
Baselining: LiveAction collects metrics over time and learns the normal behavior of the website performance including network latency, DNS latency and response times.
Alerting: Alerts are based on rules such as availability, network latency, DNS latency and response time’s threshold crossing alerts of tests.
Path Analysis: Private and Global agents perform traceroute tests to analyze the performance and latency of each hop. You can discover the domain names of the hops in the communication path along with the detailed response time analysis of each hop.
Time Series Report: A historical view and a near real-time detailed breakdown of each test. You can select any time range or location to compare and go as far back as you want.
Distribution Report: Histograms show the distribution of the data giving you a sense of whether performance is an issue. You can compare your test results among multiple agents and services. You can select any time range and go as far back as you want.
Waterfall Chart: With a browser embedded into the agent, User Experience can provide performance data of each resource of your website for insight into the user experience of your website.
