How we did it

We installed the Coradiant TrueSight 1100 in a Web farm collocated at the Inflow national collocation facility in San Diego. Data was collected passively via a generic network tap. The farm served approximately 200 different Web sites, including e-commerce sites; a few Web applications; and a variety of static, semidynamic and fully dynamic Web sites built with a multitude of technologies, including Active Server Pages, ColdFusion, PHP and Java Server Pages. We monitored live Web traffic off and on for approximately three months; and the device was used to diagnosis basic server problems, performance issues, broken links and a number of other errors. We ran both manual and synthetic tests to make sure the device captured sessions accurately.
