Create Network Tests

Network synthetic tests measure network performance and the path between endpoints and a target destination. The target can be an IP address or a domain name.

Prerequisites

Endpoints must have requisite permissions to access the test's target application. For more information, see Manage Access Policies.
Endpoints must meet testing capacity requirements. For more information, see Endpoint Agent Licensing.

Procedure

From the left menu, go to: Experience Insights > Insights Management>Endpoint tests.
On the Endpoint tests page, click Add new > Network.

On the Add network test page, complete the fields.

Name —Enter a name that is useful for identifying the agent-to-server test (such as target domain name or IP address).
From —If you select all agents from a given location, the test will be associated with the agents that are currently present for that location. If a new agent becomes available for the location when the test is run, the agent won't be included in the test. To add the new location, create a new test or clone the existing test.
To—Do one of the following:
- Click the Private resource radio button and choose an IP address. Only VPN is supported.
- Click the Custom target radio button and enter and IP address or URL for the test target.
Protocol:
- Auto-detect—The default (and recommended) option. Auto-detect tries several probes to identify the best test method for the device's current network conditions.
- ICMP + TCP Connect—Enables a TCP connection with a 10-second timeout and closes the connection if it is unable to connect. Unsuccessful connections count towards the TCP-connection failures metric.
- Prefer TCP—Falls back to ICMP if TCP is unavailable.
Port:
- The field will auto-populate for configured ports. For non-configured resources and resources that have multiple ports, enter the port number(s).
- If you entered a custom target, accept the default value or leave the field blank.
Test interval—Select the frequency of the test run.

Click Save test.
