CAM Uptime Test

Maintaining application availability is essential to the success of any digital business. Enterprises that build applications with high scalability must ensure that they provide a dependable and secure service. There are many different ways that an outage or downtime can happen, causing you to lose potential revenue, harm your reputation, or even result in data loss and legal consequences. For this reason, it’s vital to always be on the lookout for ways to improve your application uptime. The CAM Uptime Test helps you in this regard!

This test tracks the uptime of the target application and promptly detects unscheduled reboots and unexpected breaks in the availability of the application. This helps administrators determine what percentage of time the application has been up or if the scheduled reboot task is not working on the application. By comparing this value with service level targets, administrators can identify the most trouble-prone areas of the infrastructure.

Target of the test : A CAM Payment System

Agent deploying the test : A remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the target CAM Payment System being monitored.

Configurable parameters for the test

Parameter	Description
Test Period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Port	The port number at which the target application listens. The default is 7077.
URL	In this text box, specify the URL to be accessed by this test for extracting the CAM Payment System's performance statistics.
Username	Specify the Username for accessing the URL specified in the URL text box.
Password	Specify the Password of the above mentioned user in this text box.
Confirm password	Confirm the password by retyping it here.

Measurements made by the test

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Has the system been rebooted?	Indicates whether/not the application has been rebooted.		The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are tabulated below: Measure Value Numeric Value Yes 1 No 0 Note: By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values that indicate whether/not the application has been rebooted. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents of the measure values as mentioned in the table above.
Total uptime of the system	Indicates the total time that the application has been up since its last reboot.	Seconds
Uptime during the last measure period	Indicates the time period that the application has been up since the last time this test ran.	Minutes	If the server has not been rebooted during the last measurement period and the agent has been running continuously, this value will be equal to the measurement period. If the server was rebooted during the last measurement period, this value will be less than the measurement period of the test. For example, if the measurement period is 300 secs, and if the server was rebooted 120 secs back, this metric will report a value of 120 seconds. The accuracy of this metric is dependent on the measurement period - the smaller the measurement period, greater the accuracy.
