Google Workspace Login Test

Google Workspace is a productivity and collaboration tool that is widely used by individuals and organizations. Hence, any slowness or failures in accessing the services offered by Google Workspace would directly affect the bussiness-critical operations. Users cannot access Gmail, Drive, Meet, Admin Console, or other Google services when their Google Workspace login fails. Server outages, network problems, security constraints, or invalid credentials could be the reason for the failure. Also, if the Google Workspace login time is high, users may experience delays or failures when trying to access the services offered by Workspace. This can lead to productivity loss, security concerns, and poor user experience. The Google Workspace Login Test can help you to detect any slowness or failure beforehand. This will help you to identify and troubleshoot the issues before they have an impact on the performance.

Target of the test : Google Workspace

Agent deploying the test : An external agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Google Workspace monitored.

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameters	Description
Test Period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Proxy Host, Proxy Port	In some environments, all communication with the Google Workspace be routed through a proxy server. In such environments, you should make sure that the eG agent connects to the cloud via the proxy server and collects metrics. To enable metrics collection via a proxy, specify the IP address of the proxy server and the port at which the server listens against the Proxy Host and Proxy Port parameters. By default, these parameters are set to none, indicating that the eG agent is not configured to communicate via a proxy, by default.
Proxy Username, Proxy Password and Confirm Password	If the proxy server requires authentication, then, specify a valid proxy user name and password in the Proxy Username and Proxy Password parameters, respectively. Then, confirm the password by retyping it in the Confirm Password text box.
Enable Debug	If this flag is set to Yes, the eG agent will run in debug mode, enabling error logging. By default, this flag is set to No.
DD Frequency	Refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD frequency.

Measurements made by the test

Measurement

Description

Measurement Unit

Interpretation

Indicates whether/not the Google Workspace URL that this test hit returned a valid response page.

If this measure reports the value Success, it means that the test was able to connect to the Google Workspace URL of the domain, successfully. On the other hand, if this measure reports the value Failed, it implies that the test could not connect to the Google Workspace URL of the domain.

The numeric values that correspond to these measure values are as follows:

Measure Value	Numeric Value
Success	1
Failed	0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the login status. In the graph of this measure however, the same is indicated using the numeric equivalents only.

Indicates the time taken to connect to the Google Workspace URL.

Seconds

An abnormally high value is a cause for concern, as it indicates that it is taking an unusually long time to connect to the Google Workspace URL. This can inturn cause delayed access to services, authentication failuires, productivity disruptions, security risks, etc.
