Find Out How

Use the following steps to create a Monitor:

1. In the SOASTA CloudTest Repository screen, select “Monitors” under the “Server Resources” section of the Navigator:

2. Click the New icon:

3. The Monitoring Server / Monitor wizard appears. Select “Monitor” and click Next:

4. Enter a name for the Monitor and an optional description.  Select one or more Monitoring Servers which you would like to monitor, then click Next:

5. For each type of server that the selected Monitoring Server(s) offer for monitoring, the wizard will allow you to select specific resources.  For example, we’ve selected a Monitoring Server which has been configured for System Resources (hardware) and Database monitoring.  These were configured when creating the Monitoring Server.  For instructions on how to create a Monitoring Server see “Creating a New Monitor Server”.

6. For each server type, select the desired resources that you would like to monitor and provide a sample rate.  In this example, for System Resources, we’ll monitor CPU and Memory usage every 10 seconds, and in the Database section, we’ll monitor the total number of connections.

7. Click Next to display the Finish step and a summary of resources to be monitored. Review the summary. If any of the data looks incorrect, press the Back button to make the necessary corrections. Click Finish to create the Monitor.

   Your new Monitor is now created and ready for use.
