Enablement of Resource Monitoring services for a schedule

You can enable Resource Monitoring service in HCL OneTest™ Performance for a performance schedule to monitor the resources in a schedule and capture the performance statistics of such resources during the schedule run.

Prerequisites

You must have completed the following tasks:
  • Installed HCL OneTest™ Server and started it. For more details about installation, refer to Installing the software.
  • Configured the Resource Monitoring sources in HCL OneTest™ Server for your project. For more information about Resource Monitoring sources, refer to Resource Monitoring Sources.
  • In HCL OneTest™ Performance, you must have specified the HCL OneTest™ Server URL in Window > Preferences > Test > HCL OneTest™ Server and project in Window > Preferences > Test > HCL OneTest™ Server Resource Monitoring Project to get sources from to get the Resource Monitoring sources.
  • Generated an offline user token in HCL OneTest™ Server.
    Note: In HCL OneTest™ Performance, you must have used the same token in Window > Preferences > Test > > Test Connection to establish the connection with HCL OneTest™ Server. For more information about generating an offline token, refer to Generating an offline token.

Overview

When you connect HCL OneTest™ Performance to HCL OneTest™ Server, the Resource Monitoring sources that you added in your HCL OneTest™ Server project are displayed in HCL OneTest™ Performance.
Note: You must have created a project and added Resource Monitoring sources to your project in HCL OneTest™ Server.

You can configure HCL OneTest™ Performance to access HCL OneTest™ Server by using an offline user token.

You must generate the offline user token from HCL OneTest™ Server. You can then use the offline user token on the Preferences window in HCL OneTest™ Performance so that a connection is established between HCL OneTest™ Performance and HCL OneTest™ Server.

After the connection is established with HCL OneTest™ Server, you can monitor the following Resource Monitoring sources in HCL OneTest™ Performance:
  • Apache httpd server
  • NGINX server
  • Java Virtual Machine
  • Windows Performance Host
  • Linux Performance Host
  • Docker Host
  • OpenMetrics exporter
  • Prometheus server
When you enable Resource Monitoring service for a schedule, you can add the Resource Monitoring sources by using any of the following methods:

After you add the Resource Monitoring sources to the performance schedule that is available in your HCL OneTest™ Performance project, you can run the schedule from HCL OneTest™ Performance.

If you want to run a performance schedule from the HCL OneTest™ Performance command line, you can use the overridermlabels command to enable the Resource Monitoring service. See Running a schedule from a command line.
