Quick upload monitors
This page explains how to add quickly few monitors using CSV file upload feature.
Then we will upload a End User Monitoring scenario file and deploy it on our newly installed probe.
It should take less than 5 min.
We assume that you have set up a Mugnsoft
First off, download the demo materials here
Add some monitors to the previous set up
Upload some monitors via CSV files
- Open gear menu → import/export. The IMPORT tab is selected.
- Drag the demo CSV file onto the drop zone, or click browse to pick it. Each file is imported and the result is reported in a notification.
- Open all monitoring: the imported monitors are listed, and start reporting on their schedule.
The EXPORT tab does the reverse: it exports one object type as CSV, and can commit a repository snapshot when GitLab or GitHub is configured.
Add you first EUM scenario (using Mugnsoft IDE)
We assume here that you already have Mugnsoft IDE installed.
-
Open Mugnsoft IDE
-
upload a existing project
-
Test it
-
Deploy it
Type in the TOTP secret: I65VU7K5ZQL7WB4E
Manually add your first URL check
- On all monitoring, click + next to the search box and choose url.
- Enter a Url Name, pick the probe in Push to Probes, set the Frequency, and type the address in Url.
- Click TEST to run the check once from the probe and read the result panel (see Testing a monitor), then click the disk icon to save.
- Wait for a few runs, depending on the frequency, then click the monitor’s pie chart to open its report: certificate information, status statistics and timeline, response time and the time breakdown (DNS lookup, TCP connect, TLS handshake, server time).
Extra Note:
At startup the monitor component will autmatically look for his host version of web browsers and download the related webdrivers. To do so the probe will need access to the following webdriver website:
- https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads
- https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/
- https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/
Access to the above three webdriver’s websites are not mandatory as you can manually download the webdrivers and put them in the drivers folder of your Mugnsoft’s monitor component (<monitor_install_dir\drivers>).
| Browser | webdriver | webdriver download URL |
|---|---|---|
| Chrome | Chromedriver | You can download them here |
| Firefox | Geckodriver | You can download them here |
| Edge | msedgedriver | You can download them here |
| Safari | Built-in (no webdriver required) | - |
Always download the browser driver that matches your browser version. Using mismatched version would result in a error during runtime.
