AlertSite Feature Requests

we do not see full page response time on the dashboard, whereas what we get is Last response of the monitor. is there any way to include full page response time to dashboard. Please implement this feature, this will help the clients to understand the full-page load time without drilling down to the details.  ... View more

It would be of great value if we have a dedicated ios and android mobile app for SmartBear Alertsite Product which would then allow the end users to leverage the mobile app and visualize the data better rather than relying on the web page. ... View more

We will gain more insights if we have the below additional options in "Transaction Step Summary" Report:   1) Have the option to select multiple locations 2) Ability to provide the data at granular level rather than the aggregated level (Example: If we are running the report for last last 7 days or last 1 month, we are seeing in this report, only one data point per transaction step per day which is the aggregated/consolidated value; we want to have the option to view individual data points per script run also in this report) ...

On the SmartBear AlertSite UI, instead of fixing the data timestamp to GMT, it would be better if we can configure the timestamp of the displayed data (Or) may be, the data can simply be displayed based on end user's device/browser timestamp.     ... View more

Use case: For app teams which supports multiple apps, they would be interested to view certain key metrics only for the apps that they support which are monitored in SmartBear AlertSite Current Scenario: We can create saved chart for all those apps for the required metrics at monitor/step level series as well as the group dashboard. But, we had to create couple of saved charts in order to view the key metrics at a granular level (If we are adding all those metrics to a same chart, the chart becomes too clumsy due to 2 different metrics with different dimensions of reported metric values that makes the chart to be difficult to read. Example: Adding availability and response time metric to the same chart).  Proposal: Ability to allow individual saved charts to the custom dashboards (or) to allowing the required metrics of interest at monitor/step level series (response time, availability, DNS etc...) filtered at specific monitor level to be added directly to the custom dashboards Note: Below are the other proposals concerning custom dashboards: 1) To include time range selection window onto individual widget level or for the entire dashboard level 2) Ability to send these custom dashboards directly to end users (reports) on scheduled basis/adhoc via email in pdf/csv formats. 3) custom dashboards to be shareable without auth (via token key) or atleast to be made available to all users within the same account (rather than those dashboards to be viewable only for those who create it) 4) Bug: Alert Summary widget in custom dashboard shows the browser/device timezone but the displayed timestamp for every other dashboards is in GMT 5) To include search box for alerts and events summary widget   ...

We intend to have an API that provides transaction wise availability statistics for dejaclick monitors. This will certainly help as we have quite a few custom dashboard requirements and having an API that provides step/transaction wise availability % value will be of great help ... View more

Currently any results from the AlertSite API are returned using whatever time zone is configured for the entire account.  The problem with that is that the widespread standard used by most tools/apps is to assume that API results are in UTC time.   Because of this, we are unable to pull data from the AlertSite API into tools like Grafana or Dynatrace, not without having some kind of custom script in between to modify the time fields to UTC.    Please either change all API results to use UTC time, regardless of the account settings, or at least add a parameter to all API Requests to have the results returned in UTC time.  Or, maybe a setting in the Accounts page that toggles all API results to use UTC time?   Also, when I say UTC, I don't mean GMT, as that is a deprecated method of storing and displaying time, since GMT has to be adjusted based on whether or not Daylight Savings time is currently active.  UTC does not have this limitation, hence it's widespread use in nearly every modern database and/or API). ...

Generally it would be nice to show timezone offsets anywhere times are shown on AlertSite, as it is incredibly hard to know what timezone monitors and alerts are relative to.  Especially if you are not an admin.   But specifically, it would be nice if the blackout periods for an alert showed the timezone they are set for.  We had an issue where blackouts were set not realizing which timezone they would apply to since the account was set for a different one.  Then the account timezone was changed, and because of the lack of an offset display we assumed the blackout period would update to reflect the new timezone offset, assuming that the display was relative.  The blackout display did not change which led to wondering what timezone they actually were configured for.  It would be nice to be able to see this explicitly in the UI and not have to guess. ...

We need custom dashboard that allows us to pick up the metrics from various monitors that we have created for the different set of metrics. Also, we should have the ability to grant access for these custom dashboards only for specific/selected set of users (who belongs to specific service line/organization unit/owns specific applications...)     ...

We would like to see the below 2 improvements from the perspective of well-defined access control:   1) SAML/SSO based access controls to be granted via Active Directory's group name rather than granting access for each and every users' email addresses. Also, for SAML/SSO based user access, there shouldn't be the need to manually set the password in SmartBear AlertSite users administration screen. 2) We need even more granular level of user control that can be defined at monitor level. That is, we want "custom" role that allows us to grant access to  smartbear alertsite end users only for the limited set of monitors (the generic 'READ only' role that grants access to view the data for all monitors is not required for all instances of use cases that we have).         ...

With Java and Selenium, I'm building synthetic tests for one application. The script is then uploaded to alertsite monitor. The response graphs steps portion on the alertsite website gives the steps a generic name, such as step1 and step2. While I want to show the names of the steps as the pages that were visited. As alertsite creates them automatically, and sometime alertsite is not able to recognise the change in the URL and it is failing to provide proper monitor name. It would be great to have the ability to customise the step name. ... View more

AlertSite dashboard currently showing only last 30 days monitoring details.  We have requirement to show the monitoring details at least for 1 year.  Please add this feature into AlertSite. ... View more

We want the SAML or SSO based user access to be granted at the AD group level rather than granting access at individual users level. Allowing this group level access would benefit all enterprise organizations where there are several users within a single group.             ... View more

We are using mqtt in our products. I can see you have support for mqtt in Ready API but actually there is no way to monitor it in AlertSite. So we want to be able to create a monitor to simulate actions of an MQTT client for received and published messages. ... View more

In Alertsite you have Soap Monitors that run independily testing endpoints and then Web monitors which run independently.  I would like the ability to use and existing Soap Monitor as a data source from Dejaclick.  In Dejaclick if we had the ablity to after logging in , see our existing soap monitors and choose the soap monitor we wanted.  It would then give us a drop down list of objects that the soap monitor returns.  We could pick the redirection URL as a variable and then use the variable for the url that we first open in Dejaclick to start the journey.    Thanks, Douglas ...

As we have Angular web pages running version 6 and 7 that was released in 2018 they do not work on the version of Chrome that launches with Selenium on Alertsite.   When you launch Chrome in alertsite it uses version 49 of Chrome which was released in 2016.  Using Dejaclick Chrome launches in version 74.   Suggestion.  Upgrade the version of Chrome that Selenium launches in Alertsite to version 74 or greater.    Thanks, Douglas McGonegle   ...
