v Add the ping tests to the test suite.
v Create a schedule to run the test suite. Set the schedule to run at the same
frequency as the Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager collection requests for
jitter and latency. For example, if Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager collection
requests occur every 15 minutes, then set the schedule to run the ping test suite
every 15 minutes.
Note: Ensure that you set the frequency to a value that is consistent with the
other collection periods.
v Apply the schedule to the test suite and run the tests that are contained in the
suite. Each time a test completes, Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager collects a
set of metrics.
SAM server administrators can run several types of ping tests to measure traffic
characteristics at different levels of the network stack. Each ping test is represented
by its own SAM class and associated ping result class. For more information about
these classes, see the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM XML Reference - Release 7.0
documentation.
