Calculation
Calculated automatically from your Pingdom data. See the At a glance summary above for what the metric tracks and the worked example below for a typical reading.Worked example
A representative reading of p99 Latency for a typical merchant on Pingdom. The card reports the current period value alongside a comparison against the previous period. Direction matters: rising values may be healthy or concerning depending on the underlying metric. Cross-reference the siblings below to triangulate cause when the value moves outside expected range. For deeper investigation, use Vortex Mind to trace upstream causes; for natural-language exploration, ask Ask Viq.Sibling cards merchants should reference together
Reconciling against the vendor’s own dashboard
Where to look in Pingdom’s own dashboard: The Pingdom dashboard surfaces this metric (or its components) under the relevant report section. Confirm period boundaries and filter settings match the Vortex IQ profile to reconcile cleanly. Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:
