NETWORK PERFORMENCE ISSUE DETECTION WITH STEALTHWATCH

Sekou DIOMANDE — Wed, 12 Jun 2019 08:51:22 GMT

Hello team,

We are experiencing performance issues (specifically on a critical application) on a client's network and we are unable to identify the source of the problem. It is a 3-tier application (Web server, application server, Database server) protected by an application firewall. We can not determine the source of the problem. I wonder if it is possible with steathwatch to determine the response times between the different modules to find the source of the delays.
In other words, is it possible to find the source of slowness with stealthwacth.

Thank you in advance.

Stealthwatch is not a performance analytics tool. It would not be the right solution for the problem you describe. It analyzes Netflow data and, as such, wouldn't have insight into the interactions of tiers in a 3-tier system like you describe.

I don't think there's anything in the Cisco portfolio well-suited to solving this problem. You're probably better off looking at other vendors who specialize in performance monitoring.
