OCI Load Balancer Performance Test
This test continuously monitors the load balancers in the target Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and for each load balancer, this test reports the connections, SSL activity, traffic rates, and HTTP requests. Using this test, administrators can probe into why SSL handshakes had failed.
Target of the test: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Load Balancer
Agent deploying the test: A Remote Agent
Outputs of the test: One set of results for each Load Balancer:Region ID that is being monitored.
|
Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Test period |
How often should the test be executed. |
|
Host |
The IP address of the target host to be monitored. |
|
Port |
Specify the port at which the specified host listens to. |
|
Tenancy ID |
To monitor the target OCI Load Balancer, the eG agent has to be configured with the Tenancy ID of the user who is authorized to access the OCI Load Balancer. To know how to determine a Tenancy ID, refer to Generating an API Key. |
|
Confirm Tenancy ID |
Confirm the Tenancy ID by re-typing in the Confirm Tenancy ID text box. |
|
Compartment ID |
Specify the ID of the compartment in which the load balancer that you want to monitor is grouped, in the Compartment ID text box. To know how to view the Compartment ID, refer to Viewing the Compartment ID. |
|
Confirm Compartment ID |
Confirm the Compartment ID by re-typing in the Confirm Compartment ID text box. |
|
User ID |
Specify the ID of the user who is authorized to access the OCI Load Balancer in the User ID text box. You can either create a new user or use an existing user for this purpose. To create a new user and obtain the User ID of the user, refer to Pre-requisites for Monitoring Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Load Balancer. |
|
Confirm User ID |
Confirm the User ID by re-typing in the Confirm User ID text box. |
|
Fingerprint |
The fingerprint authenticates the API call, confirming its origin from the designated user i.e., the user who is authorized to access the target OCI Load Balancer. By default, the fingerprint is exposed while creating a new user and generating an API Key. Specify the fingerprint that you had noted down earlier while generating the API Key in the Fingerprint text box. To know how to identify the fingerprint, refer to Generating an API Key. |
|
Confirm Fingerprint |
Confirm the Fingerprint by re-typing in the Confirm Fingerprint text box. |
|
Private Key File Path |
Specify the full path to the Private Key that you have downloaded while generating an API key in the Private Key File Path text box. By default, the Private key is downloaded as a .pem file. For example, your location can be: /opt/egurkha/oci/oci_key.pem |
|
Regions |
Specify the region where the load balancer and its associated resources are tied to in the Regions text box. To know the region, refer to Generating an API Key. |
