Prerequisites to monitoring applications
Before you can monitor a cyclic executive application, you must import your project to HCL DevOps Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE (Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE), configure Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE and your application, and build your project.
To monitor an application, you must first complete the following tasks:
- Create or import a project with a source file in C language. A sample monitoring project is delivered with Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE. You can import it to get started with the monitoring feature. See Importing a monitoring project example.
- Enable monitoring in your application. You must enter a dedicated pragma command in the main loop of your application to enable Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE to access the global variables. See Enabling monitoring in your application.
- Configure the build and the monitoring settings in Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE. See Configuring the build and the monitoring settings. If you want to use the command line interface to activate the monitoring feature in Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE, see Test automation commands for running monitoring scripts and creating reports.
- Run the application. See the note in Configuring the build and the monitoring settings.
The monitoring procedure is described in Recording a monitoring script.
