Sharing Test Agents¶
You can share a Test Agent with partners or business associates. The Test Agent will be available for use in tests and monitoring in the accounts you share it to.
The packet capture function is disabled on shared Test Agents, and changing interface configurations is not possible.
The person sharing a Test Agent is called the “sharer” on this page, and the person receiving a shared Test Agent is referred to as the “sharee”.
How to share a Test Agent¶
Navigate to Test Agents in the main menu.
In the Share column, click the icon for the Test Agent you want to share.
In the dialog that appears, enter the account to share the Test Agent to and how many streams you want to assign to the shared Test Agent.
Click the Share agent button.
You will be notified as to whether the sharing was successful or not.
The icon in the Shared column changes to a dark blue color:
On the License info tab you can see how many streams are used (not only shared streams) and how many streams are available.
Repeat this procedure if you want to share more Test Agents, or share the same Test Agent to multiple accounts.
