Overview

Monitoring Conditions allow Remote Worker Agents to run tests only when specific conditions are met. NetBeez provides a simple user interface to create conditions sets which are can be applied to targets. The conditions can be one of the following:

• A DNS query fails
• A DNS query succeeds and optionally returns a specific value
• The VPN client is connected
• The VPN is disconnected
• The remote worker is connected to a specific SSID
• The remote worker is not connected to a specific SSID

Monitoring Conditions in NetBeez

To create monitoring conditions, the NetBeez dashboard supports the following parameters:

• DNS
  
  • Type: UDP or TCP
  • Query: FQDN (Required)
  • Server: IP address (Optional)
  • Resolution: FQDN (Optional)
• VPN
  • VPN client is up or down
• SSID
  • SSID name

The conditions are defined as simple expressions that can be also merged together in more complex conditions by using boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT).

After a monitoring condition is created, it can be added to a new or existing target.

 

Note: Monitoring conditions only apply to remote worker agents; network agents are not affected when attached to targets with monitoring conditions assigned.
