Test HTTP attribute groups

You can test the HTTP attribute group that you created, within Agent Builder.


Procedure

    • During agent creation click Test on the HTTP Information page.

    • After agent creation, select an attribute group on the Agent Editor Data Source Definition page and click Test. For more information about the Agent Editor, see The Tivoli Monitoring Agent Editor

  2. Click Browse to select the HTTP URLs file. For more information about URLs files, see (URLs file).

  3. Optional: Set environment variables, configuration properties, and Java information before you start testing. See (Attribute group testing). For more about HTTP configuration, see (HTTP configuration).

  4. Click Start Agent. A window indicates that the Agent is starting.

  7. Stop the agent by clicking Stop Agent.

  8. Click OK or Cancel to exit the HTTP Test window. Clicking OK saves any changes that you made.
