Build A Query

Overview

The Query Builder is your starting point for every Provider Intelligence analysis. It allows you to define the scope of your evaluation by specifying time frames, locations, destinations, calculation methods, and metric priorities. The more precise your query, the more relevant your results.

Key Components

Your Provider Intelligence query consists of five main elements:

2. User Locations: The source cities where provider performance will be evaluated.

3. Destinations: The target Cloud Region(s) or Application(s) for your analysis.

4. Results Calculation: Score against Performance only or Performance & Stability.

5. Prioritized Metrics: The order of importance for latency, loss, jitter, and (when applications are selected) Time to First Byte (TTFB).
