Controlling Resource Monitoring sources in a schedule

In HCL OneTest™ Server, you can control the Resource Monitoring sources that are collected in a performance schedule by adding matching labels.

Before you begin

You must have performed the following tasks in HCL OneTest™ Performance:
  • Created a performance schedule of Rate or VU type.
  • Added Resource Monitoring sources, or the labels of Resource Monitoring sources to a schedule. For more information about the procedure, refer to Adding resource monitoring sources to a performance schedule by using labels.
  • Enabled HCL OneTest™ Server as Resource Monitoring service only if you want to replace Resource Monitoring labels set in HCL OneTest™ Performance with the labels that you create in HCL OneTest™ Server.

You must have created a project and added Resource Monitoring sources to your project in HCL OneTest™ Server. For more information about the procedure, see Monitoring host resources.

About this task

This procedure describes how to create Resource Monitoring labels in HCL OneTest™ Performance and add them to a performance schedule. The procedure applies to the following use cases:
  • To replace the Resource Monitoring labels that were initially set in a schedule from HCL OneTest™ Performance with the labels that you create in HCL OneTest™ Server.
  • To enable Resource Monitoring sources that were not enabled from HCL OneTest™ Performance. In that case, Resource Monitoring sources are enabled by setting labels in the Execution dialog box from HCL OneTest™ Server.
  • To ignore Resource Monitoring sources that were set in the schedule and to change for a label matching mode.

Procedure

  1. Click a source that is available in your project, either in the Total Sources cards, or in the All Types cards from the Resource Monitoring page.
    View of total and type of sources and agents
  2. Click Plus sign you must click to add a label under the Labels column of a Resource Monitoring source to add a label.
    List of added sources
  3. Enter a name for the label and press the Enter key.

    Example: Enter 'SUTv2' in three different Resource Monitoring sources.

    Note: You can add one label or multiple labels for the same Resource Monitoring source. A label can contain a maximum of 200 characters.
    Tip: You can create the same label for different sources that belong to the same logical group to monitor the whole group with only one label.
  4. Navigate to the Execute view and click image of execute icon on a performance schedule in the list of tests to execute a schedule.
  5. Click the Resource Monitoring tab in the Execute Test Asset dialog box and click the Plus sign you must click to add a label.
  6. Either press the Ctrl + Space keys, or enter the initial letter of a label to select a label in the list.

    Example: Select 'SUTv2'.

    Field where you select or enter Resource Monitoring labels
    You can see all the labels that you added to the Resource Monitoring sources.
    Note: Adding at least one label in the Execution dialog box, produce the following actions:
    • Enables Resource Monitoring in the schedule if it was not already enabled.
    • Enables label matching if explicit sources were previously set. The labels created from HCL OneTest™ Server are used to match with the sources and any other Resource Monitoring labels previously set in the schedule are ignored.
  7. Click Execute to execute the performance schedule.
  8. Click the Result view in the navigation bar of HCL OneTest™ Server when the schedule is complete.
  9. Expand the performance schedule result to see the Resource Monitoring label name in the Details card.

    The Details card displays the Resource Monitoring labels that are used in the schedule to override the initial labels and collect Resource Monitoring sources. In the example, the 'SUTv2' label. For other details about the Results page, see the link at the end of this page.

    Example of result details and reports

    In the Report card, you find the link to the Statistics Report that is generated. In the Resource tab of the Statistics Report, you can view the information related to the Server sources matching the labels set in the schedule.

  10. Click the Statistics Report link in the Reports card to see the performance metrics of the Monitoring sources matching the selected labels.

    Example: You can see the statistics for the sources tagged with the same 'SUTv2' label.
