We have 6
Eventcorder systems running 24 hours per day, 7
days per week looping through various functions
of our most vital production application. Because
of Eventcorder's unique ability to react
logically to slightly different screen
"looks" we have been able to gather
performance measurements from our application
even when running in Microsoft Terminal Server
sessions.
During each loop of a script, measurements are
taken for how long various functions take. With
Eventcorder's WaitForSpot function (which allows
for creative and reliable implementation) we can
expect our robots to run thousands of times
against unpredictable production data and still
keep running.
We have Eventcorder send it's performance
measurement data into the Windows Event Log where
it's picked up by a NT Syslog driver, sent to a
syslog server, where the data is sorted and
inserted into a MS SQL database. From the SQL
database, we have MRTG (the multi router traffic
grapher) querying the data and graphing it. So
all 6 robot PCs running Eventcorder are fully
automated with central data collection and
respository.
We have a team of people who react daily to the
measurement data that Eventcorder provides.
Huge success story for Eventcorder. We could have
bought any tool... Eventcorder was the only one
with the sophistication needed for 24x7x365
reliability and the unheard-of ability to
repeatedly measure Windows terminal server
applications.

Used
Eventcorder to captured the web interface to
Cicso ACS, and then wrote a simple E-Scripter
script which drove the web interface and added
all the users to the RADIUS so that they would
have VPN access. Even with timing problems, this
was completed, coding and all, in less than a
week. The company had planned on hiring someone
for what was estimated to be 6 weeks of work to
do this manually. It was not necessary using
Eventcorder/E-Scripter and as a bonus, it was
done 100% accurately as there was no human error
involved.
Added a subset of those VPN users to the
"Bell Nexxia" remote access service
(RAS). Eventcorder captured a model of the web
interface, then wrote a simple E-Scripter script
which drove the web interface and added all the
users in less than a week. This would have been a
painful process if it had to be done by hand and
considering the number of variables. As it was
the table which drove this was a simple text
extract from an original Excel spreadsheet. The
logic in the script did all of the work.
Beautiful. As it was, even with incredibly slow
response time, this was accomplished, error free,
in less than a week.
