IQI Report - App Insights as the Source of Truth
There are multiple similar functions happening that are similar within Optimizely. They all need to be utilizing the same data a the singular source of truth. They are:
Incident Management, primary data is App Insights.
Deep diagnostics done by Problem Management, primary data is App Insights
App Insights Dashboard
IQI Health Check reporting, primary information (aside from pingdom's availability info which for legal reasons) is Cloud Flare for health information.
The inconsistency of source data causes issues because we cannot make a consistent presentation of the information when the source being utilized is entirely different.
It also adds possibility of deviation of information because CloudFlare adds network hops and the possibility of transforming HTTP Status Codes, etc. So, the information can be altered in an unproductive way.
If we want to add CloudFlare reporting, we should add targeted CloudFlare specific reports to the IQI report. These should identify discrepancies within the CloudFlare environment that are frequently done as differentials between App Insights and CloudFlare - such as delays in response from CloudFlare that are not caused by backend systems.
