OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering server monitors – IPv6 support
When configuring monitors in OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering, you can specify the server’s name as an IP address in IPv4 format or as an FQDN. The following table lists the monitors that also support the IPv6 format.
|
Support status |
Monitor name |
|
Full support for IPv6 format |

|
Uncertified support for IPv6 format |
AppDynamics, Azure Insights, CA APM, Dynatrace SaaS, New Relic
|
|
No support for IPv6 format |
Microsoft Active Server Pages, Microsoft IIS, Windows Resources |
For a list of the relevant monitors, see Monitors requiring configuration.
Virtual Table Server requirements
The system requirements for installing the Virtual Table Server on a Linux machine are the same as for installing a load generator on Linux. For details, see Load generator requirements on Linux.
Cloud computing
OpenText Professional Performance Engineering and OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering are certified to be installed and run under Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform instances or virtual machines, using a BYOL (Bring Your Own License) model.
Requirements for deploying OpenText Professional Performance Engineering and OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering on cloud platforms:
· All components of the cloud computing environment follow the system requirements specified in this document.
· The required ports are open for communication. For the required ports, see Load Generators on the Cloud in the OpenText Professional Performance Engineering help, and Communications Paths in the OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering Installation Guide.
Note:
· Cloud load generators can be provisioned using the built-in functionality of OpenText Professional Performance Engineering and OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering. For details, see Manage Load Generators on the Cloud in the OpenText Professional Performance Engineering help and Provision elastic cloud load generators in the OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering help. All other components must be manually installed and configured by the user.
· To improve performance, it is preferable to deploy the OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering server and hosts, and the database in the same region. Consult the cloud provider help for best practices about network performance.
· Cloud load generator ports are configurable. When all the components are in the cloud, the ports to use are defined by the cloud provider (they are not based on internal IT policies).
