e2e_appmon_dev
E2E Application Response Monitoring Development Edition

The E2E Application Response Monitoring Probe (Developer Edition) is used to create customized NimRecorder scripts.
Individual transactions can be timed and Quality of Service (QoS) messages can be sent from the script, as well as the total run time as measured by the probe itself. Finished scripts can be run by the e2e_appmon probe.

Installation notes

NOTE: No instances of Internet Explorer should be running while performing the installation.

Install the probe as any other Nimsoft probe. Note the information below as regarding upgrading from previous versions.
When migrating from the earlier wintask probe, the wintask probe is disabled.
On the first startup of e2e_appmon, it will read and take over the configuration of the wintask probe. Note that there is a change in QoS object names, which means that instances of the probe running on a computer with the earlier wintask probe will produce QoS on a different object from instances installed on a 'clean' robot. This can be changed in the 'Variables' tab of the e2e_appmon configurator.
The probe is initially inactive, as you must specify the user which the probe logs on to the system as. When you have added the user credentials and activate the probe the current login session is exited, and the probe will initiate a login as the specified user. Please ensure that no screensaver is active, as this will interfere with the running of the scripts!

Note that you should check during the first run that the environment is properly set up. For instance, the 'Internet connect' wizard may need to be run.

Known issues

Newly created script-files do not show in the file dialog. Restart NimRecorder to get the updated file dialog.
The NimRecoder scripts need to be recompiled after installation.
