Dimension Table Compare
Dimension Table Compare displays comparative percentage values in the dimension tables to directly identify which dimension values contributed most to the spike or drop (in percentage) within the table. This feature also displays the shaded comparative area in the metric widget time series to help clarify the scope of the impacts. Hovering over the percentage value displays the absolute value of the shaded area. With this feature, you can efficiently analyze the data and detect any anomalies to provide a better user experience.
Ads provides an option to save, share, and export the table-compare data.
This feature offers two distinct modes, Date-on-Date (DoD) Compare Mode and Slice Mode, each designed to cater to different user needs and scenarios.
Note: Turning the Date Comparison feature toggles off any secondary feature settings. The Dimension Table Compare feature is not supported for Live mode.
Presets
Ads offer templates or presets for common use cases to determine the best metrics and metadata required to address specific use cases. This empowers new and current customers to operationalize and serve as quick starting points. Users can customize these Templates and save them as public or private dashboards.
Real Time (NOC)
Real-time dashboard provides a visual presentation of QoE metrics for actionable streaming intelligence in real time. Enhanced by selected filters and dimensions, it provides an option to monitor the performance of your most critical streaming KPIs with visual threshold-crossing indicators to quickly identify and correlate changes in QoE metrics.
For monitoring video streaming performance based on selected filters across dimensions, and support monitoring video streams based on selected filters, see Real Time Dashboard.
Manual Alerts
Manual alerts define alert conditions and trigger email notifications when the specified criteria are met.
Dynamic Y-Axis
Dynamic Y-Axis narrows the granularity of the y-axis range to focus more precisely on the displayed data points. Pulse calculates the maximum and minimum values, adds appropriate buffers, and determines whether to include the zero position in the y-axis. Excluding the zero position often improves the clarity and interpretation of scatter charts. For example, the y-axis range changes from 0 – 100 to 50 – 100 when data points fall only between 60 and 100.
