Sensible Monitoring for Sensitive Areas

How do you monitor “performance” as experienced by the end user?  In an earlier blog, we examined Mississippi State Ordinance §19-5-103 which essentially holds the adult entertainment industry responsible for certain biological reactions patrons might experience whilst appreciating "the show".

Without revisiting the details, the unanswered question is this: how can the law monitor audience response to “adult entertainment” without affecting the show itself? Such a monitoring system must be somehow individual, invisible, anonymous and yet painstakingly accurate—reputations are on the line here. 

Monitoring these events certainly poses a thorny challenge akin to the problem facing web operations as they attempt to monitor the end-user experience. The monitoring capability has to meet competing objectives:

1) Provide an accurate measure performance experienced by individual end-users under the thousands of different ways Web applications are delivered

2) Do so in a way that is individual, invisible, anonymous and accurate – in short, in a way that never impacts delivery of the application (unlike changing the source code or downloading monitoring agents onto the user’s PC).

You can easily appreciate the difficulty of this challenge for the Magnolia state adult entertainment establishments.  How do you detect (and document) customer response in a dimly-lit strip joint or massage parlor where the “action” might be obscured behind partitions or booths?  If enforcement required powering-up the house lights or rearranging the layout it would alter the “operating environment” and change the experience dramatically — akin to changing source code in the Web arena.  It seems unlikely that the law require patrons to wear a “turgidity” detection device (somewhat like downloading an agent onto the user’s browser for Web apps).

Luckily enough, the problem has been solved — for Web applications anyway. Our company, Symphoniq, has developed a deceptively simple solution that allows IT to monitor performance based on TRUE (the real user experience) for any Web application delivered by the F5 BIG-IP appliance. 
The lightweight, downloadable TrueView Express product is integrated with BIG-IP to measure application performance directly from the every browser without requiring client-side agents, changes to the code, or the purchase of additional appliances.  It can monitor millions of Web users located anywhere in the world without burdening the BIG-IP.  All told, a very simple to use solution to tackle a difficult challenge.

Now if the law in Mississippi could have something to monitor “discernible turgidity” in an adult entertainment establishment, the law enforcement establishment in Mississippi would have a much easier time of it.

Good afternoon. Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right.
I am from Iceland and also now am reading in English, give please true I wrote the following sentence: "Or drug rehab and alcoholism treatment.Helping a person to stop drinking can - how can I help a person who has an alcohol use problem get treatment? Where to go from here."

With respect :(, Prescott.
