Hi guys, first off all, the QoE feature is great, I use it a lot for capturing metric data to use in my reports to keep them pesky cloud vendors in check!
However I’m deploying qoe network sensors in key sites around the globe for my organisation and it would be a great idea if you could assign a node to more than one network sensor.
For example, if I want to measure the http & https qoe metric going from one of our offices in Brisbane, Australia and hitting our internet proxy servers in Sydney, Australia. I than can’t assign that node to say my Perth, Australia office or Melbourne, Australia Office, because its currently being used by assigned network sensor in my Brisbane, Australia office.
I understand that having QoE metrics coming in from multiple sources cause some design rework on how the existing qoe works, from my understanding its be designed with a centralized data center deployment (All company/internet traffic goes out of main WAN router) in mind, but for example sakes. Those companies that have a global presence like mine for example, we use a lot of localized internet breakout services, and it would be great to see some type of aggregated qoe dashboard in which you could drill down into for key sites specifics or display a global average value, that you can go back and say to your vendor, you promised a global response time for 20 ms!!!
Hope this picture illustrates the idea a little bit more.
I have a work around to this, but it involves removing the node from the network sensor and assign it to another network sensor would really like something a bit long term
