Every Minute Matters

Find the Root Cause in Minutes with Root Cause Analysis

When a network performance complaint arises, the first question is almost always the same:

"Where is the problem?"

Finding the answer, however, has become increasingly difficult in today's complex IT environments.

Users report that applications are running slowly, while network teams insist connectivity is normal.

Security teams find no anomalies in the firewall, and infrastructure teams confirm that servers are operating as expected.

As each team investigates using its own tools, identifying the true source of the problem can take hours or even days.

It's Not the Problem That Matters; It's the Root Cause

A performance issue is rarely just the visible symptom.

The underlying cause may be:

• A congested WAN link

• An incorrectly configured routing policy

• Unexpected packet loss

• Increased network latency

• Misconfigured Quality of Service (QoS) policies

• Unanticipated application traffic

Without identifying the true cause, remediation efforts often provide only temporary relief rather than a permanent solution.

The BlueCat LiveAction Root Cause Analysis Approach

BlueCat LiveAction does more than simply report network events. It correlates network data and analyzes relationships between events to identify the actual source of performance issues.

With LiveAction, IT teams can:

• Analyze traffic flows from end to end.

• Monitor latency, jitter, and packet loss in real time.

• Pinpoint the affected network path within seconds.

• Evaluate network and application performance from a single dashboard.

• Review historical data to determine exactly when and where an issue began.

This enables operations teams to replace guesswork with data-driven decisions and resolve incidents more accurately and efficiently.

Business Benefits

• Significantly faster Root Cause Analysis

• Reduced Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR)

• Less unnecessary cross-team coordination

• Improved operational efficiency

• Higher application availability

• Increased user satisfaction

Solve Problems Permanently, Not Temporarily

BlueCat LiveAction goes beyond network monitoring by identifying the true root cause of performance issues, enabling IT teams to make faster, more informed decisions.

Because lasting solutions always begin with accurate diagnosis.
