Page Load Test (Using Annotations on Service)

In this example, Let`s deploy a Service, we will add annotations on it to run a Page Load test monitoring Cisco DevNet homepage.

Two options to run a Page Load test.

Option 1: Using thousandeyes.devnet.cisco.com/test-url

Service: config/samples/annotations/service_pageload_default_settings.yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: nginx-service-pageload
  annotations:
    thousandeyes.devnet.cisco.com/test-type: page-load
    thousandeyes.devnet.cisco.com/test-url: https://developer.cisco.com/
  labels:
    run: nginx
spec:
  selector:
    run: nginx
  ports:
    - port: 80
      protocol: TCP

All the other settings will use default values

1. Create a Page Load test

   kubectl apply -f config/samples/annotations/service_pageload_default_settings.yaml
   

   The test will be created on dashboard.

2. Update the settings of the Page Load test

   Modify thousandeyes.devnet.cisco.com/test-url in config/samples/annotations/service_pageload_default_settings.yaml and redeploy.

   kubectl apply -f config/samples/annotations/service_pageload_default_settings.yaml
   

   You will find the url have been updated.

3. Delete the Page Load test

   Set thousandeyes.devnet.cisco.com/test-type to none in config/samples/annotations/service_pageload_removal_settings.yaml and redeploy.

   kubectl apply -f config/samples/annotations/service_pageload_removal_settings.yaml
   

   The test will be removed from ThousandEyes dashboard.

Option 2: Using thousandeyes.devnet.cisco.com/test-spec

This annotation follows PageLoad CR Spec definition

Service: config/samples/annotations/service_pageload_customized_settings.yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: nginx-service-pageload
  annotations:
    thousandeyes.devnet.cisco.com/test-type: page-load
    thousandeyes.devnet.cisco.com/test-spec: |
      {
        "url":"https://developer.cisco.com/",
        "interval": 1800,
        "httpInterval": 1800,
        "agents": [
           {"agentName":"Tokyo, Japan (Trial)"},
           {"agentName":"Singapore (Trial) - IPv6"}
        ],
        "alertRules": [
           {"ruleName":"Default Page Load Alert Rule"}
        ]
      }
  labels:
    run: nginx
spec:
  selector:

  ports:
    - port: 80
      protocol: TCP
