Vantage Points

A vantage point is a Riverbed AppResponse system, used as a filter for identifying AppResponse data handled by Application and Location triggers in runbooks. Accordingly, the Vantage Point filter is available in a runbook only when an AppResponse data source is available and either an Application trigger or Location trigger is in use.

There are four Vantage Point options:

• No Filter — Potentially, all AppResponse systems will be queried. It is possible for the query to include NetProfiler or other data sources.

• All Vantage Points — Potentially, all AppResponse systems will be queried. No other data sources will be queried.

• Specific Vantage Points — Select specific AppResponse systems to query and no others.

• Vantage Point From Trigger — Query only the AppResponse system associated with the anomaly that triggered the runbook.

If more than one App Response system is queried, and the response presentation is Table, then a dropdown with Vantage Points will be presented in the runbook output. By default it shows All Vantage Points; however, you can select a specific vantage point to filter the data further. For any other presentation (such as Pie, Bar, Line chart) the runbook response is limited to showing the data from one App Response system at a time.
