Configuring Server Monitors

Introduction

 

In addition to measuring the client and server response time, Web Performance Test allows monitoring of  CPU utilization (in %) and memory usage (in %) of the web server or database servers. It provides the ability to remotely monitor the above resources without any server-side installation in Windows, Linux and Solaris.

 

Note: For Windows, if the specified host is a remote host, server monitoring is done only if the remote host is in the same domain as the local host from where the test is executed.

 

Configuring Server Resource Monitoring

 

Server Resource Monitoring is supported for Windows, Linux and Solaris platforms. In Windows, server resource monitoring is done using WMI. In Linux/Solaris, server resource monitoring is done using Telnet/SSH.

 

The Server Monitoring UI opened through 'Server Monitoring' link in the load test screen allows you to configure and choose one or more server monitors. During playback of the script, play engine starts all the chosen server monitors which will then report the resource utilization of the monitored servers.
