Records/Waterfall Metrics Do Not Correlate with Scatterplot

Prev Next

In rare cases, scatterplot data points for two different metrics can "overlap". The Catchpoint scatterplot chart currently does not have millisecond granularity. As a result, it will perform data aggregation & average the statistics from two runs, which can result in identical values for different metrics.

For example, consider the following hypothetical test data:

Run #1

  • DNS - 4ms
  • Connect - 2ms
  • SSL - 22ms

Run #2

  • DNS - 0ms
  • Connect - 2ms
  • SSL - 89ms

In this situation, the resulting scatterplot will average the runs, resulting in the following averaged values:

  • DNS - 2ms
  • Connect - 2ms
  • SSL – 55ms

As stated, this should only occur in rare cases. If this is happening consistently in your Catchpoint performance charting, please contact Catchpoint support.
