Endpoint 2.21

Introduction

The release of ByteBlower Endpoint 2.21 brings a major, powerful new feature!

Realtime Results

ByteBlower Endpoint users can now see real-time results being transmitted from the Endpoint client while a scenario is running.

This is an optional feature that only requires  'Heartbeat mode" to be enabled in the project settings → Easy configuration!

Real-time results reporting can be very beneficial for certain test cases.

  • Longer duration tests require a lot of data to be transmitted at the end of the scenario which can sometimes create issues if the connection is unstable.
  • This also allows for the partial reporting of results if a device drops out of a test. This way, the results up to this time are preserved.
  • Wi-Fi statistics are available in the real-time view under the 'Gateway' tab → The RSSI values, SSID and BSSID values can be observed here and are updated in accordance with the "heartbeat" interval in the project settings.
Additional Improvements
  • When using the ByteBlower Endpoint in a headless environment the command line options --version and --help  no longer require the meetingpoint address to be given.  
  • The ByteBlower Endpoint as a systemd service will now produce the correct logging output.
