Hi guys, The HP Sitescope team has explained about how to upload a Vugen script to Sitescope and Monitor the script in Sitescope. Suppose your application is loading slowly and you are not sure where exactly the problem is. Then you can run your script in Sitescope and it will show you where exactly the problem is. Many people do not know that there is an option in the controller as well where it will show the breakdown of the transaction. Hope this video helps you.

The integration of Sitescope with Loadrunner is a simple task that can be done in two minutes. Launch the controller Go to System Resource Graphs Click on Sitescope Click on Add Measurements Add the Host Address or IP address of the machine that Sitescope installed as shown the following image. If it is prompted for the Username and Password give the credentials as required. Integration of Sitescope with Controller If the controller is connected to the Sitescope you are able to see all the counters that the Sitescope has in your machine as shown in the following image. Adding Counters Once you successfully add the Sitescope you will see all the monitors / counters that the Sitescope has. Add the measurements that you want to require and click on okay. Here I have added CPU utilization. CPU Utlization

How to add Windows or Linux Servers to Sitescope: In order to monitor a server first we need to add the server to Sitescope. For example, if you install Weblogic on a windows server, first we will add that server or operating system to Sitescope and then we can able to monitor that server as well as the Weblogic Application and its counters. I will show you how to add a Windows machine and a Linux machine to the Sitescope.  Adding Windows Machine to Sitescope: 1. Click on Remote Servers Tab on Sitescope 2. Click New Microsoft Windows Remote Server. 3. Enter the IP address of the machine. 4. Give the credential for the machine. 5. Click on save and test. It will add the server to Sitescope. Once we add the servers we can easily add the monitors / counters that we needed.

Once you install the Sitescope you will be given a url which is called localhost: 8080/Sitescope. Launch the application in the browser. You will see the Sitescope application as shown in the following image. I will explain briefly on different options that are available in Sitescope. We have mainly Monitors, Remote Servers, Templates, Preferences, Server Statistics, Tools. Monitors: In Monitor tab we mainly do adding different monitors For example adding CPU, Memory etc. Remote Servers: In remote servers tab we add  the servers to the Sitescope for example, if you want to monitor a Linux server first we need to add that server and then we can add the different monitors like CPU. Templates: We can group a couple of monitors in a template and save it as a template. We have mainly user defined templates and predefined solution templates. We can create our own templates in order to meet our requirements. Preferences: This is mainly for Sitescope settings. In this sect

Why Sitescope is called Agentless Monitoring Tool? HP SiteScope monitors the application/infrastructure/server/operating system without installing any agent software on the system to be monitored. This feature makes the installation, usage and maintenance of Sitescope simpler when compared with the any performance monitoring tools like Diagnostics. Sitescope Monitors: Sitescope has also upgraded and changed drastically to meet the rapidly changing technologies and environments like virtualization and cloud computing. Using Sitescope we can monitor different web servers, application servers and database servers. We can also monitor operating systems Windows, Linux, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX. It has more than 100 monitors including Weblogic, Websphere, SAP, SIEBEL, SNMP, LDAP, Network Monitor etc. HP SiteScope can also monitor cpu utilization, response time, disk space, and resource availability of a variety of host types and application platforms.
