AppSpeed Topology Overview 3

The topology tables show the relationships between the services and servers detected on the network, and the

dependencies between applications.

This chapter includes the following topics:

“Analyze an Object,” on page 25

“Scalability Considerations for AppSpeed Monitoring,” on page 25

“Editing AppSpeed Topology,” on page 26

Analyze an Object

You can select an object in the AppSpeed topology and view its details on the Analysis page.

Procedure

Select the object in the topology table and click Analyze.

The Analysis page for the selected service or server appears.

Scalability Considerations for AppSpeed Monitoring

AppSpeed is a real-time service performance tool that collects, analyzes, and stores substantial volumes of data

per second. Various parameters affect AppSpeed performance.

The number of probes deployed

The number of monitored services

The number of monitored servers

The number of transactions

The volume of monitored network traffic

The main factors affecting scalability in AppSpeed are the number of overall monitored objects and the number

of transactions that are being monitored. AppSpeed reduces the number of transactions for each service as

more services are mapped. This number can be reduced to as few as 50 transactions for each service. AppSpeed

stops detecting new servers after the number of monitored servers exceeds 500, or the number of IP addresses

and ports in the monitored network exceeds 3000. It also stops mapping new services if the number of

monitored services exceeds 100.
