We really like the dashboards and their latest release. By going to v10 it made our lives a whole lot easier because prior to v10, we had to put all of these assets, these Riverbed arguments, basically JVM start up itself. Then when they send out a new release or a new patch on it, the library changed to 64-bit. If that library changed, we have to go to all the different JVMs we have implemented and we would have to go in there and change all of the start-up arguments. When we go with system wide enabling, we don't have to mess around with the JVM arguments anymore. We just control on the backend of AppInternals what we want to instrument and what we don't want to instrument. That makes it a lot easier.
One thing that I can't do with the AppInternals - we have put in a request as an enhancement that we would like to search for items. If we're searching for a URL and we want to know was it a get or was it a post.
Those are attributes that are of interest to us because we can have a static URL but rather than just seeing the performance time, the metrics and everything around that, we needed a way to go in and carve those out. To find out which one was a get and which one was a post. We would like to see those columns. We would like to have those columns available that the customized columns had.
With v10, Riverbed has done a very good job and we've been using it a lot. There's actually more features in v10 that we really haven't gotten into yet. I'm planning on making some more time to dig into those.
