Create LoadRunner Enterprise telemetry instances

Create a telemetry instance

To create an instance of the LoadRunnerEnterprise provider, build a YAML file (instance.yml in this example) with the definition of the instance:

#LoadRunnerEnterprise Telemetry Provider Instance
provider: LoadRunnerEnterprise
config:
 address: http://influxdb.mycompany.com
 port: 8086
 username: akamas
 password: influxdbpassword
 database: pc_akamas_project

Then you can create the instance using the Akamas CLI:

akamas create telemetry-instance instance.yml

Configuration options

When you create an instance of the LoadRunnerEnterprise provider, you should specify some configuration information to allow the provider to correctly extract and process metrics from Prometheus.

You can specify configuration information within the config part of the YAML of the instance definition.

Required properties

• address: The address of the InfluxDB instance, in the form of schema://address (i.e https://influxdb.mycompay.com)

• port: The InfluxDB port

• username: The username required to connect to InfluxDB.

• password: The password for the username

• database: The database name where LoadRunner metrics are stored
