Where to set parameters?
Hi,
I've setup a private WPT server and have an EC2 test agent running using this AMI: IE9/Chrome/Firefox - ami-f97029bc : 314854558937/wpt-IE9. I've set the locations.ini file on the server based on the EC2 sample and that appears to be working alright, I have a location and browsers to choose form on the server. The one piece of the puzzle I am missing is where I set config so that the two machines know to talk to each other. Going through the instructions, I know I need to set the parameters below, but I am not sure where I need to set them. These are the parameters I am referring to: Parameters wpt_server - the web server where WebPagetest is running (required) wpt_location - The location name to use (optional - if not specified it will be built from the region and browser - ec2-us-east-IE8 for example) wpt_key - secret key for the specified location (optional) wpt_threads - number of simultaneous browsers to run (optional, defaults to 1 - multiple threads does not work with traffic shaping) wpt_timeout - timeout setting for each test in seconds (optional, defaults to 60) wpt_reboot_interval - reboot every X minutes (optional, defaults to 720) wpt_defrag_interval - defrag the hard drive every X days (optional, defaults to disabled - 0) Thanks for any help! Mark. |

RE: Where to set parameters?
you pass them in as "user data" when you request the EC2 instances - you don't have to do anything to the agents themselves.
I added some more language to the docs as well as a screen shot to hopefully make it clearer: https://sites.google.com/a/webpagetest.o...ata-string Thanks, -Pat |

Hey Pat,
Thanks for that I can see exactly what I need to do. Had no chance of finding the answer on the agent because I stuffed up before I even booted it. Really appreciate your help! Mark. |

RE: Where to set parameters?
Hi,
I'm setting up my first instance. In the user data field do I enter all this data (from the locations.ini file): wpt_server=www.yourserver.com wpt_key=SecretKey wpt_location=US_East_IE7 browser=IE 7 latency=0 label="US East (Virginia) - IE7" key=SecretKey And how do I add the: browser=Chrome,Firefox latency=0 label="US East (Virginia)" key=SecretKey" bit? Does this need to be an different launch ec2 instance? |
