Configuring Gomez GPN Monitors
Configuring Gomez GPN Monitors
Gomez GPN is Empirix’s hosted service that lets you monitor your
Web site in real time, using objective performance data gathered
from points on a global network. The service lets you monitor your
web site performance from outside of your firewall from a secure
network that spans five continents. If you have a Gomez GPN
account, you can create a Gomez GPN monitor to provide external
measurements from outside your firewall, and then correlate these
measurements with the performance of internal systems. (See
www.empirix.com for more information about the Gomez GPN
service.)
The Gomez GPN Monitor retrieves data for the monitors you have
configured within your Gomez GPN service account. Data is
aggregated for all locations.
In the Add Monitor dialog box, when you click Gomez GPN in the
Monitor Types box, settings to configure a Gomez GPN monitor
appear on these dialog box tabs:
General Tab – Contains the options that you can use to create a
Gomez GPN monitor for your monitor group.
Proxy Tab – Contains the options that you can use to configure a
Proxy Server to use with a Gomez GPN monitor for your monitor
group.
Alerts Tab – Shows what action plan will be used when an alert
occurs. Options on this tab allow you to set up or modify an action
plan that responds to alerts generated by the current Gomez GPN
monitor. You can also configure how an alert will affect the
monitor group’s health. It can result in a Warning state, a Critical
state, or can have no impact on health.
Locations Tab – Specifies the Data Collector Location from which
the monitor checks performance.
