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.
