Real User Tests

This article includes instructions for creating, modifying, and deleting real user tests, as well as reference information for the various configurable settings.

Real user tests get automatically deployed when the user visits a website in the monitored domain set.

A monitored domain set consists of domains that you want to gather end-user performance metrics about. The best practice is to use business-relevant domains for tools and sites that your end users access.

Add a Monitored Domain Set

To add a monitored domain set:

1. Navigate to the Endpoint Agent > Test Settings > Real User Tests tab.

2. Click the Add New Monitored Domain Set button.

3. Configure the basic settings for the session. See the table below for summaries of each option.

4. Click Add New Monitored Domain Set at the bottom to save the domain, or click Cancel to discard the changes.
