Configuring Monitoring Services for LR395

Introduction

LR (LoadRunner) is a popular performance testing tool used to test the performance and scalability of web applications. It provides a comprehensive set of features to monitor the performance of your application, including the ability to monitor server-side metrics, network traffic, and client-side performance.

In this article, we will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to configure monitoring services for LR. We will cover the following topics:
Configuring server-side monitoring
Configuring network traffic monitoring
Configuring client-side monitoring

Configuring Server-Side Monitoring

To configure server-side monitoring, you will need to use the VuGen script recorder. You can do this by opening the VuGen script recorder and selecting the "Tools" menu. Then, select "Options". In the "Options" dialog box, select the "Monitoring" tab. On the "Monitoring" tab, you will need to specify the following settings:
Server-side monitoring type: This setting specifies the type of server-side monitoring that you want to use. You can choose from the following options:

WMI monitoring: This option uses the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) interface to collect performance data from the server. WMI monitoring is only available on Windows servers.
Perfmon monitoring: This option uses the Performance Monitor (Perfmon) interface to collect performance data from the server. Perfmon monitoring is available on both Windows and Linux servers.


Server-side monitoring interval: This setting specifies the interval at which LR will collect performance data from the server. The default interval is 1 second.

Server-side monitoring metrics: This setting specifies the metrics that you want LR to collect from the server. You can select from a wide range of metrics, including CPU usage, memory usage, and network traffic.

Configuring Network Traffic Monitoring

To configure network traffic monitoring, you will need to use the Network Monitor tool. You can do this by opening the Network Monitor tool and selecting the "File" menu. Then, select "New". In the "New" dialog box, select the "Network Monitor" template. On the "Network Monitor" template, you will need to specify the following settings:
Network traffic monitoring interface: This setting specifies the network interface that you want to monitor. You can select from a list of available network interfaces.
Network traffic monitoring filter: This setting specifies the filter that you want to use to filter the network traffic that is monitored. You can use the filter to specify the source and destination IP addresses, the port numbers, and the protocol.
Network traffic monitoring interval: This setting specifies the interval at which LR will collect performance data from the network. The default interval is 1 second.

Configuring Client-Side Monitoring

To configure client-side monitoring, you will need to use the VuGen script recorder. You can do this by opening the VuGen script recorder and selecting the "Tools" menu. Then, select "Options". In the "Options" dialog box, select the "Monitoring" tab. On the "Monitoring" tab, you will need to specify the following settings:
Client-side monitoring type: This setting specifies the type of client-side monitoring that you want to use. You can choose from the following options:

Web page monitoring: This option monitors the performance of web pages. Web page monitoring is available for both HTTP and HTTPS traffic.
Ajax monitoring: This option monitors the performance of Ajax calls. Ajax monitoring is only available for HTTP traffic.


Client-side monitoring interval: This setting specifies the interval at which LR will collect performance data from the client. The default interval is 1 second.

Client-side monitoring metrics: This setting specifies the metrics that you want LR to collect from the client. You can select from a wide range of metrics, including page load time, response time, and errors.

Conclusion

In this article, we have provided you with step-by-step instructions on how to configure monitoring services for LR. By following these instructions, you can ensure that you are collecting the data that you need to effectively monitor the performance of your application.
