Clarity and network performance analysis

Products

• Clarity PPM On Premise
• Clarity PPM SaaS

Issue/Introduction

Understanding the performance of application network traffic is crucial, especially when considering the impact of Virtual Private Network (VPN) usage. As the current load changes, we need to assess how traffic behaves both with and without VPN configurations. Is there any report or tool in Clarity that would help analyze network traffic patterns? 

Environment

All Supported Clarity Releases

Resolution

• Clarity does not have any OOTB log or report that would record or report network traffic
• We have another product in Broadcom, Appneta that can do this and that you can get and use:

Additional Information

• You can leverage the Log Analysis portlets to review performance within Clarity itself but we do not have anything that would be related to network.

  • Section View System Statistics and Log Data
• Load Tests can be performed with 3rd party tools and reporting can be done based on that. This is something that a partner or consultant can help with, but it’s outside the scope of Support.
