The following Azure geo zones are not available until further notice:

  • Germany West Central, Frankfurt
  • Canada Central, Toronto
  • Norway East, Oslo

While testing you can select geographical zones to start LI Servers and emulate virtual users. LoadView uses Load Injector Servers from Amazon Web Services and Azure Cloud Services.  Load Injector Servers can be generated from a number of geographical zones. Dotcom-Monitor can instantiate up to 500 Load Injectors per zone.

The number of LI Servers and the number of virtual users on each LI Server will be calculated automatically based on the LoadView scenario, the number of zones, and the calibration results if used. However, you can adjust the distribution of the LI servers and thus users between different zones.

To test your website from more than one geo-zone, if necessary, on the Test Scenario page add more zones from the available:

  1. In the Load Injector Geo Distribution section, click Add Zones and select the necessary zone check boxes you need to add.
  2. If necessary, adjust the allocation of virtual users among zones using the sliders in zone rows. To fix the virtual user allocation for the particular zone, click the lock button in the zone line.

For example, if the bulk of your visitors come from a particular region, you can set a higher percentage of the load to simulate from this zone.

Running Large Load Tests

For safety reasons, we limit the number of LIs to run a test. If you are planning to run very large load tests, please contact technical support to allocate extra capacity in AWS data centers.

Reference Load Injector Servers

By default, LoadView runs a separate Reference Load Injector per each Zone to measure reference test results for device state verification while testing. See more tips on Reference LIs usage in Advanced Usage of Reference Load Injectors.

Note that Reference Load Injectors are billed according to the common LI pricing.
