Q5. Users report that the SAC dashboards are loading slowly, particularly when accessing large datasets. As an administrator, you are tasked with diagnosing and improving system performance. What steps would you take to identify the performance bottlenecks in SAC and improve dashboard loading times?
Ans:
To improve the system performance, especially the loading times in SAC, we have to follow a systematic approach which includes:
– We can use several tools and metrics for evaluating the system performance, as it will help in providing detailed metrics on loading time, rendering time, data retrieval time, or any other bottlenecks, if there.
– We should also track the performance of the data models as complex models with large data volumes can cause real slowdowns.
– Always a good decision to check query and calculation times as long-running queries or excessive calculations might slow down the system.
– Optimize the data source performance, no matter if you are using live data or imported data. We should always focus on optimizing our queries, use aggregates or pre-aggregates of data & work with data load optimization models.
– We can also optimize the data model design by avoiding complex calculated measures or dimensions, limiting the dynamic filters, or simplifying the model structure as required.
– We can also optimize the story by limiting the number of widgets or using more efficient visualizations. Optimizing the script can also be a good choice.
– Limiting the scope of data is always a good choice.
– Enable data caching or data prefetching as per the requirement.
– The best is to monitor the system’s health and performance timely. Upgrade to the latest versions as and when required.
These are a few of the best ways we can use to optimize the performance of our SAC dashboards.
