  • 1.  Recording Live Traffic - Target is Invalid Error

    Posted Sep 04, 2017 12:40 PM

    Hi,

    I am new to LISA.

    I am trying to record live traffic on my server but when I enter the URL, it keep giving me "Target URL is Valid. But Target is invalid" error. Is it because the URL directs to another login page?

     

    I have tried multiple URIs and it does not work.

     

    Also, if I give "Use SSL" and then not give https in the URL, is that a problem?

     

     

    Thanks,

    Karthik

    I even tried 

    google.com:80

    in the URL. Same error.

    It's not clear to me what it is you are trying to record. Are you trying to create a virtual service by recording the traffic for a Web service? Or are you trying to record a UI/browser test case?

     

    And if you do specify SSL then the URL should have https in it or else it wouldn't be SSL enabled.

    Karthik,

     

    When we provide the target URL in the Portal, the VSE tries to validate the address.

    "Target URL is valid, but target is invalid" message means that given URL is one of the allowed syntax but target host may not be valid.

    If you know the target URL you provided is valid, verify if the VSE and Portal servers have access to the address provided.

     

    Hope it helps.

    Thanks William and Heloisa. The URL is valid and with SSL but it does not record. The problem seem to be actually connecting to the VSE, which is interesting because the same VSE can be pinged from the computer. 

     

    So, DevTest portal recording isnt working. I am trying the same by creating a recording from Workstation and trying to deploy it to VSE to record. I will post on how that goes.

    It's entirely possible to ping a machine but not have connectivity to it from a specific port, so make sure you have opened the right firewall rules for the port you're using for recording. You can try the following command from a command prompt, "telnet <hostname> <port>", to confirm there's connectivity over a given port.

    Thanks Will... The port is not open.
