The easy-to-navigate console ensures quick access to critical information and provides info on RED metrics along with Total requests. For each app it displays crucial performance metrics – Request Rate, Error Rate, and P90 Latency (90th percentile latency).
2. Criticality-Based Ordering: To prioritize troubleshooting efforts, the App Catalog presents apps in decreasing order of their criticality. Critical apps indicate that they require immediate attention. On the other hand, apps with no issues assure you of their optimal performance.
3. Navigating to Service Catalog Page: To access the service catalog page, simply click the Application name.
