From 1:01 am to 3:01 am PDT on Sept 18, 2011 the data center that houses our secondary queue server became inaccessible from all monitoring locations. During the outage we were not running any monitoring jobs. At this time everything is running normally and our network ops team is working to determine the root cause.
Normally an outage of one of our queueing clusters would not be an issue, as we have both automatic and manual failover policies in place. But this time we were in the middle of migrating the physical server of our primary queue server and were unable to switch over. There are a few spots we have already identified where we can improve our infrastructure to prevent any further outages like this.
For 42 minutes tonight, 21:02 EDT to 21:44 EDT, Browsermob was unavailable from multiple locations. We worked quickly to resolve the issue as soon as it was detected and are happy to announce that service has been restored. If you have any questions for us, please let us know at support@browsermob.com.
From 9:25pm PDT through 10:02pm PDT tonight, monitoring was unavailable. An investigation is being performed right now to determine the root cause of this isolated issue. We are very sorry for any inconvenience you may have experienced, and will learn from this incident to prevent this in the future. If you have any questions, please contact us at support@browsermob.com.
Hello Readers!! Welcome back to Part 3 of our Load Testing Best Practices series, which focuses on writing good load testing scripts.
As I’m sure you would agree to, load testing is an imperative part of every development effort. One of the key components to your load testing efforts is a good load testing script that simulates real user behavior on your web site in the most realistic and accurate way possible.
Before you take a deep dive into the scripting, there are few things you need to plan ahead of time.

As you may have seen, we announced some exciting news today: Neustar’s BrowserMob Load Testing and FriendRunner have joined forces. With these platforms combined, developers will be better able to test Facebook applications and ensure they are ready for viral deployment before launching them publicly to the Facebook community.
So why did we form this relationship? Well, Facebook’s unique architecture makes it more challenging to perform traditional load testing. However, with this solution, application developers can run load tests easily and efficiently, all while staying within budget.

Happy Holidays from the BrowserMob crew! I hope everyone has a chance to spend some quality time with friends and family this week, and a few moments away from the keyboard.
We’re taking an opportunity while everyone is distracted to perform a few performance upgrades on the site. The maintenance window is scheduled for a 12 hour period on Sunday December 26, from noon to midnight PST. We don’t expect more than a few minutes of actual interruption to any individual service and the website will remain accessible during the maintenance window. Monitoring will continue as expected the entire time, with a small possibility of delayed alerts. We will leave the maintenance notification up until all upgrades have been completed. Here’s a rundown of what we are changing and how it might effect you.
