Geo Tab

The Geo tab displays key performance metrics by geographic location based on page loads. If you are using Browser Synthetic Monitoring for an application, you can view either Real User or Synthetic data using the View dropdown. See Browser Synthetic Monitoring versus Browser Real User Monitoring.

The metrics displayed throughout the dashboard are for the region currently selected on the Map or in the Grid. For example, on the map if click on France, the widgets and trend graphs update to display data for France.

See Browser RUM Metrics for definitions of the metrics.

Map View Labels

The Map view displays load circles with labels for countries that are in the key timing metrics given in the right panel. Some countries and regions, however, are only displayed in the Grid view.

Regions and Countries

Regions are subdivisions of a country, such as a state, province, or city. In the default Map view, key performance metrics are displayed by country. You can check the Show regions in Global View box to view the key performance metrics by region. The default Grid and Map views display key performance metrics by country, but you can view metrics based on region. Because the Map view displays fewer regions than the Grid view, if you do not see a region displayed in the Map view, switch to the Grid view.

See Browser RUM Countries and Regions by Geo Dashboard for a list of the countries and regions available in the Map and Grid views.

Unknown Locations

An unknown location means the agent cannot determine the country from which the request originated.

You may also see metrics reported for a location named "Anonymous Proxy". This means that the agent cannot identify one or more private IP addresses, and the "Anonymous Proxy" represents aggregated metrics from those IP addresses.

One of the effects of Unknown regions is that it possible for a country to display as slow (red circles) on the global map, but when you drill down to the country all its regions appear normal (green circles). Or a country may display as normal on the global map, but some sub-regions may display as slow when you drill down.
