Add Standard Tests

1. Navigate to Administration > Devices.
2. In the Device Management window, select the options icon for a device and click the Create New Standard Tests option.

The Add Standard Tests page displays.

1. Select one of the following options:

• Apply Automation Profiles
• Create new tests using an Application Profile (Filtered Discovery) - When you select this option, the Application Profile Name selection box displays with a list of widely-used applications and devices. The list is a collection of SNMP and WMI metrics that Traverse can automatically discover. Each entry is associated with one or more standard and proprietary SNMP MIBs, Windows services/applications, or a functional grouping of metrics from different monitors. See Application Profile to create a Application Profile.
• Create new tests by selecting specific monitors - If you select this, In the Available Monitor Types list, select the monitors that include tests that you want to provision for this device.
  • Select Perform auto-discovery of supported (*) test types if you want Traverse to auto-discover tests for monitors types designated with an asterisk (*).
    1. If checked, Traverse automatically discovers which tests are supported by a given device. For example, if you add a new router to your network, Traverse can discover which SNMP tests the router supports. You can then select which of the supported tests you want to run.
    2. If unchecked, the auto-discovery process does not run. You can still provision tests manually.
    3. By default, Network Discovery performs auto-discovery for the ping, snmp, wmi, and port monitor types.

1. Click Add Tests.

Additional Configuration Pages Display

All tests include one or two additional configuration pages that require you to select test subtypes and/or enter configuration settings.

• If you selected Create new tests from following Application Profile in Step 4, clicking Add Tests displays (in most cases) the SNMP Test page, the WMI Test page, or both. For example, the Cisco Call Manager profile includes metrics that are collected using both SNMP and WMI. Note that you can select multiple application profiles using the Shift and Ctrl keys on your keyboard. When you click Add Tests, the test associated to each selected profile displays (as the filter for subsequent test discovery) in the Filter Tests page.
• If you selected Create new tests from following Monitoring Profile in Step 4, clicking Add Tests displays test pages based on the information in the selected monitoring profile.
• When selecting tests by monitor type, a If one or more already provisioned tests... option displays.
  • If checked and Traverse discovers a provisioned test of this subtype for this device (for example, a Packet Loss test is already configured for this device), the test subtype does not appear in the list of tests that you can select to provision.
  • If unchecked and Traverse discovers a provisioned test of this subtype for this device, the test subtype displays and you can provision another test of the same subtype for the device.
  • If unchecked and Traverse discovers a provisioned test of this subtype for this device and some of the configured parameters for the test do not match the rediscovered parameters (such as max, and OID), then the test displays so that you can update the values.
