Monitoring Endpoints

[Anmol Kumar]

Hello All,

I have a requirement to monitor cloud endpoints. For the same I am using SPM to check if the endpoint is listening on a particular port.(Basically TCP port test)
When I create a new SPM test, spectrum automatically resolves the endpoint to an IP address which is fine. However, I need to understand if in future the underlying IP of the endpoint is changed, will spectrum pick it up ?

Example: abc.blob.core.windows:443 resolves to 10.10.10.1:443
In future, if abc.blob.core.windows:443 resolves to 10.10.10.2:443

If yes, where is the endpoint value stored in Spectrum ? Any attribute?

Thanks in Advance
AK

You can try a HTTP Test. It does a nslookup on the link on every request performed. If I remember correctly, there's a DNS Lookup Time available for each SPM interrogation. You can event set a threshold on that.
