Application Experience Trend

  • <device>Experience on <application> - View the trend lines for all apps as well as for the selected app and see where the selected app stands in comparison to the rest of the apps running on the device. This graph also shows you the status of your GlobalProtect connection along with visual markers of the duration when the GlobalProtect connection was lost. You can see the GlobalProtect status by hovering your mouse cursor over a Significant Event symbol.
  • Path to <application> - This chart allows you to quickly pinpoint which segment of the end-to-end experience is likely causing the issue for the user. Click on a segment, such as Device, WiFi, Local Network, Internet, Prisma Access, or the app name, to view the associated data for that segment in the Trends, Path Visualization, or Device Details tabs below them.

    HTTP LatencyTime taken to establish an HTTP connection.
    Time to First ByteThe total of DNS Lookup, TCP Connect, SSL Connect and HTTP Latency time results in the Time to First Byte.
    Data TransferTotal time taken for the entire data to be transferred.
    Time to Last ByteTime to First Byte + Data Transfer time.
  • Device Health Metrics
    MetricDescription
    MemoryMemory used by the device at a particular time in the Time Range. Hover over the trend line to see the average amount of memory the device used during the Time Range.
    CPUCPU power used by the device at a particular time in the Time Range. Hover over the trend line to see the average amount of CPU the device used during the Time Range..
    BatteryHover over the trend line to see the amount of battery power the device is using at any point during the Time Range.
    Disk UsageHow much of the hard disk space has been used. Hover over the trend line to see the amount of disk space in use on the device during the Time Range.
    Disk Queue LengthThe number of outstanding requests that are waiting to be sent to the disk, a high number implies poor performance.
    • Top 5 Processes Consuming Most Memory and Top 5 Processes Consuming Most CPU
      The Top 5 Processes Consuming Most Memory and Top 5 Processes Consuming Most CPU widgets display the 5 processes that consume the most memory and CPU on a user's device. These widgets are not dependent on the Self-Serve feature being enabled or disabled. The numbers displayed here are an aggregate of all samples taken during the selected Time Range. Refer to the section on the Time Range Filter for details on the frequency of data samples collected. They list each process by name and how much memory or CPU the process was consuming at the selected time. You can collapse these widgets by clicking on the arrow next to the widget title.

Path Visualization tab

This tab shows you the hop-by-hop network details of the traffic flow from the user to an application. Even if your VPN is disabled, it will provide visibility on all the internet hops from the user to an application. If your application (private application) is not reachable from an untrusted network when the VPN is disabled, it will fail the availability test and the application experience for that session will be impacted.

Device Details tab

Zoom Integration tab

This tab is visible only if you have purchased and enabled the Zoom QSS from Zoom. For details on the widgets in this tab see Zoom Performance Analysis for Mobile Users.
