NV Test Manager settings
This section describes the settings that apply when you run a test run from NV Test Manager.
To access these settings, click the Settings tab in NV Test Manager.
Make sure to click Save to apply the changes for each setting you modify.
Active adapter | |
---|---|
Shows the NIC [network interface card] to which network impairments are applied when you run a test. If more than one NIC is installed on the NV Test Manager computer, make sure to stop any tests that are running on NV Test Manager before selecting a different Active Adapter from the list. |
|
Analytics | |
HTTP analysis to be conducted on port(s). Specify the ports on which to perform HTTP analysis, separated by commas. Note: For HTTPS analysis, configure the proxy settings below. |
|
Packet capture | |
Network Virtualization settings for capturing and storing network packets that are transmitted across the network.
|
|
Total packet list size |
The maximum buffer size that is available for storing packet lists. The packet list size cannot be more than 25% of the available RAM on the machine. Possible values: 1-1,000 MB Default: 300 MB |
Capturing mode |
Specifies what happens when the total packet list size is reached.
Default: Cyclic |
Latency compensation | |
Instructs Network Virtualization to adjust latency impairments to compensate for extraneous network latency that occurs, for example, between the application peer and NV Test Manager. Enable this option mainly when NV Test Manager is located off-premises, such as at a remote facility or on the cloud. Possible values: On/Off Default: Off |
|
NV Proxy server | |
Enable proxy |
Enables HTTP/S-based application traffic to be routed through Network Virtualization. You may also need to enable NV as a proxy in other situations to force your application to go through Network Virtualization, for example, when testing mobile web applications running on a mobile device. Note: Using a proxy adds a slight delay to forwarded HTTP(S) traffic. To analyze HTTPS traffic, do all of the following:
|
Authentication |
Instructs Network Virtualization to authenticate connecting clients using HTTP basic authentication, ensuring that connecting clients are valid NV Test Manager users. |
Listening port | The port number on the NV Test Manager machine. Possible values: 1-65534 Default: 8888 |
|
|
Proxy chaining |
Required if the application server is in the cloud and NV Test Manager is behind a corporate proxy. To do this, enter the following:
