Using synthetics to get the big picture
When something goes wrong with a service, engineers need much more than legacy network visibility to get a complete picture of the problem. Here’s how synthetic monitoring helps.
The evolution of network visibility
In the old days, we used a combination of several data types, help desk tickets, and spreadsheets to figure out what was going on with our network. Today, that’s just not good enough. The next evolution of network visibility goes beyond collecting data and presenting it on pretty graphs. Network observability augments the engineer and finds meaning in the huge amount of data we collect today to solve problems faster and ensure service delivery.
