Precise for Web continuously collects high-quality metrics from the end-user’s user's browsers and from the Web servers of your Web server-based applications and correlates these metrics to build a clear picture of application performance from the end-user perspective - response time.

The Precise for Web user interface is made up of three tabs. Each tab has a different focus, provides a different view into your Web application’s application's performance, or identifies patterns in resource consumption.

About drilling down in context

The term “in"in-context” context" means that you can display additional information on a selected item by drilling down to another workspace or view. The filter settings you define (for example, the time frame you chose) and the entity you select are carried over to the other view or workspace, to allow you to continue analyzing your subject from a different perspective. This concept takes on slightly different meanings depending upon where you are attempting to drill down in context from. Therefore, the information displayed when drilling down in context is always related to your original selection’s settings.

For example, when viewing information on an instance in the Dashboard workspace, you can click a link in the Details area (right pane) to view additional information on the related workspace, in the context of your original selection. Or when viewing a list of alerts for your product in Alerts, you can open your product in context and continue investigating the factors that led the system to issue that alert. This means that the information displayed when drilling down in context is always related to your original selection’s selection's settings.

Radio ButtonFieldDescription
LoginField Name

The name of the username text box in the Web page. Consult the Web page administrator/developer, if applicable, to get this name. Alternatively you can find it by right clicking the mouse near the field and selecting "View source" from the popup pop-up menu. The structure of the HTML page should be like the following:

<form name="loginForm"… action= …>

User Name: <input type="text" name="myUsernameField">

</form>

The value you need to put in the "Field Name" field in this example is myUsernameField. Note that the input type is "text".

Another way to get the field name: copy to the browser's address bar the following command, that should fill all the text boxes in the page with their name and the name of the form.

javascript:var frms = document.forms ;for (var formInd=0 ; formInd <frms.length ; formInd++) {var form = frms[formInd];var elems = form.elements;for (var ind=0; ind< elems.length; ind++ ){var field = elems(ind);if (field.type == "text")field.value="Field=" +field.name + " form=" + form.name;}};void(0);

URI

To save the time of looking for the field in all pages, specify the URI of the login page, e.g.

/login.jsp

Info

When the login page opens in a dialog that has no address bar, switch to full screen mode to see its URI (F11 in most browsers).

Form NameIf the URI is dynamically changing, or you can reach the login page using many URIs, you can mention instead (or in addition) the form name in which the user name field exists. You can find the form name in the same way mentioned above; in this example the value for the form name would be loginForm.
LogoutURISpecify the URI of the logout page that after visiting makes sure that the user is no longer signed in , e.g. /signOut.jsp. All pages in a session since visiting the login page are marked as visited by the found user. Pages visited after this URI are no longer related to the user.

You can send an email message to one or more recipients from the Precise toolbar. The default subject for the message will be “Link is, "Link to a Precise application."

...

  • Relative Time Frame. Saving a relative time frame instead of static date. For example, saving the last 7 seven days will always display the last 7 seven days, depending on the day entered.
