Self-built Node Management¶

In addition to the built-in nodes of the Guance system, you can also create new testing nodes anywhere in the world. By establishing self-built nodes across different geographic locations and with different ISPs, you can monitor availability from multiple regions and gain a comprehensive understanding of your site's availability.

Create Node¶

Go to Synthetic Tests > Self-built Node Management and click Create.

1. Select the country/region and province or city.
2. Select the ISP.
3. The node code will be automatically filled in; the node code cannot be duplicated within the current workspace.
4. Enter the node name; the node name cannot be duplicated within the current workspace.
5. Click Confirm.

Manage Node¶

In the node list, you can uniformly view and manage all self-built nodes in the current workspace through the following operations:

• Click "Get Configuration" to directly copy the configuration information from the pop-up window.
• Click "Operation Audit" to view the operation records related to this node.
• Click "Delete" to remove the current node. If a self-built node is associated with a testing task, after deletion, this node will no longer report data for that task, but the data already reported will not be affected.

Install Node¶

After creating a node, you need to complete the installation in DataKit to enable the node for use.

1. After creating a self-built node, you need to obtain the configuration information for the specified node via Self-built Node Management > Get Configuration.
2. Complete the installation of the testing node in DataKit, and ensure that the server where the testing node is deployed can probe the target node (country, region, ISP).
