As you add more panels to your dashboard, more requests are being made, potentially leading to your dashboard taking longer to load.

In this week’s tip, we are looking at a use case unique to our popular Network Insights solution. Network Insights lets our users view their network path from end to end, providing detailed granular telemetry from four primary sources: We could go into depth on any of these, but today we’re going to focus on Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Monitoring.

A poorly performing website or web application hurts the end-user experience and can result in lost revenue and customers.
