At NS1 Connect, we are always pushing the boundaries of intelligent traffic steering and our Pulsar feature just got a powerful upgrade! We know that visibility drives better decision making and these enhancements are designed to give you deeper insights into how traffic steering decisions are made, where they matter most and how they evolve over time.
Whether you are optimizing performance, ensuring availability or simply trying to understand how your routing decisions are made, these new enhancements will give you more granular control over your application traffic. Pulsar is already renowned for leveraging Real User Monitoring (RUM) data to make intelligent data-driven decisions. These new updates dramatically boost your ability to understand, optimize and troubleshoot your global traffic management and multi-CDN strategies.
Decisions by RUM Filter – See the ‘Why’ behind every route
Ever wondered why Pulsar made routing decisions in a specific region or why your preset weights don’t always align with traffic pattern? Now you can see exactly how performance and availability thresholds influence traffic.
Visibility on why a routing decision was made, with clear counts of decisions by RUM filter. Instantly understand how often your pre-defined performance and availability thresholds are impacting your traffic steering.
Quantify Impact: gain clear statistics on how frequently your performance and availability thresholds are triggered, giving you tangible proof of Pulsar’s real-time effectiveness.
Make adjustments: use this data to choose whether you want to adjust your performance thresholds in your filter chain to be more sensitive so that your users are always routed to the optimal destination.
Enjoy a refreshed UI with a new look that prioritizes clarity and ease of use. View all filters and routing decisions side by side in one streamlined view. Plus, data export options make it simple to pull insights directly from the charts you see for reporting or deeper analysis.
Pulsar now provides detailed error visibility by geography and DNS record, allowing you to quickly pinpoint where and why issues might be occurring. Spot patterns faster, troubleshoot with precision and reduce time to resolution.
