The Performance Analyst should use Browser Apps. This area contains Browser Real User Monitoring data and presents application performance from the actual end user’s perspective. It provides detailed trend graphs for browser pages and AJAX requests, including metrics such as end-user response time, page load time, network time, server time, DOM processing time, resource-loading time, request volume, errors, and geographic or browser-related performance variations.
These measurements enable the analyst to determine whether a performance problem originates in the browser, network, content-delivery path, application server, or a downstream dependency. The graphs can also be filtered by time range, page, browser type, device, operating system, location, and other user-session dimensions.
Transaction Analytics is used for querying and analyzing transaction and business-event data. Remote Services focuses on backend dependencies and external service calls. Applications primarily provides server-side APM visibility into Business Transactions, tiers, nodes, and application flow.
