Networking troubleshooting for end users is unclear

Open stirby opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Our enterprise customers have noted that diagnosing networking latency from within the VSCode extension is difficult. The extension shows real-time latency, but does not offer assistance on how to improve performance.

Since many developers interact with Coder exclusively through VSCode, this is a great location to add finer-grained diagnostic tooling, or simply links to documentation on how to troubleshoot networking problems as a user.

This could be as simple as linking our Networking Troubleshooting documentation. We could link to the most relevant section of this documentation given a user's connection type as it's already detected by the extension.

We could potentially show this link in the hover or possibly when the latency is above a certain threshold (we can even use a different color/background color to indicate this "slowness")
