The requirement is to enhance the F5 Distributed Cloud (XC) platform by introducing the ability to display performance dashboards at the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) level. Currently, performance metrics are aggregated and presented at the Business Unit (BU) or Load Balancer (LB) level, which limits granular visibility.

Technical Explanation of the Requirement:

1. Objective:

   • Develop a feature that enables real-time and historical performance monitoring for individual FQDNs.

   • Allow customers to view performance metrics like latency, throughput, error rates, and traffic patterns tied specifically to an FQDN rather than broader namespace/LB groupings.

2. Architecture & Design:

   • Extend the existing reporting module or performance telemetry pipeline to:

     • Extract FQDN-specific metrics from the incoming data streams.

     • Update the data modeling layer to support FQDN as a primary filter/index.

   • Update the data store schema to include FQDN-specific identifiers and ensure efficient retrieval during dashboard rendering.

3. Dashboard Customization:

• • Provide options for filtering or grouping data by FQDN across different time ranges.

• Scalability Considerations:

  • Ensure that the data ingestion, storage, and query layers are optimized to handle the increased volume of data due to FQDN-level granularity.

  • Build mechanisms to limit excessive performance overhead (e.g., by enabling customer-configured thresholds or limiting FQDN-based tracking to prioritized domains).

This feature enhancement will offer a more tailored experience to customers, enabling them to monitor performance metrics directly relevant to their specific FQDNs and improve their operational insights.
