Web Apps

Web Apps is a feature oriented towards monitoring the behavior of web applications from the end user's perspective. Its main goal is to provide accurate and real-time information to identify potential issues related to performance, access errors, or service degradation.

Unlike tools solely focused on server monitoring, Web Apps offers a comprehensive view of user experience, enabling analysis of how applications behave in real-world usage situations.

Its main capabilities include:

  • Data segmentation by networks or reporting groups, which allows for more granular and detailed analysis.
  • Detection of failure patterns and anomalous behavior.
  • Evaluation of performance perceived by users.
  • Identification of latency problems and access errors.
  • Gathering information to optimize service quality.

Requirements​

To use Web Apps correctly, you must meet the following minimum requirements:

  • FlexxAgent version 25.7.1 or higher, installed and updated.
  • Flexxible Web Apps Extension, installed and enabled in the browser.
  • Activation of the functionality from the settings of Products and Reporting Groups.

Flexxible Web Apps Extension​

The Flexxible Web Apps extension is an indispensable component for the functioning of Web Apps.

  • Requires FlexxAgent to operate.
  • It cannot be used independently.

Compatible Browsers​

The Flexxible Web Apps extension is available for the following browsers:

  • Google Chrome version 102 or higher
  • Microsoft Edge version 102 or higher

Deploying​

The extension can be installed manually. However, the deployment method will depend on the corporate environment and software management policies of the organization, such as GPO, Microsoft Intune, or other automated deployment tools.

After the extension is installed, FlexxAgent automatically performs the necessary configuration for its operation. Extension updates are managed from within the browser itself and do not require manual intervention.
