Today we are pleased to announce several major improvements to BrowserMob’s monitoring service, as well as a brand new website:
- Drastically improved charts, including object-level performance charts
- Three new locations: New York City, Amsterdam, and Singapore
- Raw HTTP header captures for any failed transaction
- A brand new website, including a major update to our free Instant Test tool
Please check them out, or continue reading for more information.
Improved Charts
The number one feedback we received with our monitoring product was that while it was fun and easy to script real browsers, the charting left a lot to be desired. So we completely overhauled the charts, making them faster and more responsive. They also now break down each monitoring location use rich, vibrant colors, making it easy to see if you have performance issues in certain geographies.
In addition, we introduced object-level charting. Now when you view an individual transaction you’re going to be able to drill down to view individual object performance over time. Simply click on that element and you’ll be presented with a chart that plots response time for that individual HTTP request, broken down by each geography.
Three New Locations
We’ve added support for three new cloud-based locations, all powered by Voxel, a fantastic CDN and cloud computing provider. They are: New York City, Amsterdam, and Singapore. These locations are currently in beta and their long-term status will depend on how well they perform. So please try them out and let us know what you think. This brings our total locations up to seven, as we already support San Francisco, Dallas, Washington DC, and Dublin.
Raw HTTP Captures
In order to give you better root-cause analysis of monitoring failures, we now give you the ability to view the raw HTTP wire traffic for any failed test. This will tell you what HTTP headers were sent for every single GET or POST issued by the browser. Whether you leverage a large CDN or run a one-server deployment, this additional information should be very useful.
Brand New Website
Finally, we extremely happy to have rolled out a new website and complete UI overhaul for our monitoring and load testing services. In addition, we’ve completely rewritten our free Instant Test tool to make it faster, easier to use, and provide more actionable data analysis. Please try it out and let us know what you think!
