Set Up Application Reporting

In addition to the normal IP traffic reports aggregated by client location, PerformanceGuard can also do trend aggregation of application-traffic data per computer per application at fixed time intervals.

You can access this information as a summary report in the PerformanceGuard web interface by selecting ANALYZE > Computers > Application Report.

In PerformanceGuard the term application doesn't necessarily mean a single software program. Instead it means a collection of things that you find it meaningful to measure the performance of together.

Thus, a number of things must be in place for application reporting to work:

• You must have defined at least one type of application, read more how to setup these applications in Network Applications.

• You must enable trend aggregation (described in the following)

Optionally, you can also include data from application pings (that is monitoring of availability, response times, etc.) and transaction filters (that is monitoring of web requests) in your application reporting.
