Setup the data source

To set up the integration between Loadrunner Enterprise and InfluxDB please follow the official Microfocus documentation. Akamas does not require any additional setup on the data source.

Components configuration

Akamas reasons in terms of a system to be optimized and in terms of parameters and metrics of components of that system. To understand the link between metrics collected from LoadRunnerEnterprise through InfluxDB and a specific component, the LoadRunnerEnterprise provider looks up some properties in the components of a system:

• loadrunnerenterprise

You can use this example to start building your component specification:

# Specification for a component, whose metrics should be collected by the Prometheus Provider
name: "WebApp1" # name of the component
description: "WebApp for payment services" # description of the component
properties:
  loadrunnerenterprise: ""
