Good day

I am trying to setup an enterprise agent test to monitor Youtube video services - what would be the best way to go about this?

Hi @grobler.a - this is a really interesting question! I've run it by our experts and they had this to share:

 

This depends on what they want to monitor on YouTube: interactions of a specific user, home networks connected to YouTube, or a specific YouTube page.

For individual user tracking the best approach would be configuring EPAs in the users of interest + configure some real user tests.

To monitor home networks, consider using Connected Devices (we even have a video streaming test suit for Youtube).

If the idea is to monitor how the web page loads when accessing the page from their corporate network, they should configure a Page Load test for Enterprise Agents.

Hi @Tyler Langston 

Thank you for the response.

We ended up configuring a Page Load Test to give us the performance metrics needed.
