The SharePoint Web Simulation automates user actions and measures the time needed by leveraging the web API.

Note: this sensor is part of OE V1.5.0.


Simulation Steps

  • Authentication

Based on the configured authentication type (basic, modern, ADFS, certificate-based).


  • Access Site

Measures the time until the entire html content of the SharePoint site is successfully loaded.


  • Create Folder

Creates a folder in the document library named 'panagenda_sharepoint_sensor'.


  • Upload File (file size can be adjusted in configuration)

Uploads a random file with random content named 'random.txt' with size specified by config/file size in the folder created before. If the file already exists, it will be deleted.
Measures time (in ms) and speed (kilobytes per second).


  • Download File

Downloads the file uploaded before.
Measures time (in ms) and speed (kilobytes per second).


  • Delete File

Deletes the file created before.


  • Delete Folder

Deletes the Folder created before.


  • Perform Content Class Search

Searches for a specific content class (for instance Document Library) and measures how long it takes to access the class. OE monitors the class and load performance.


Simulation Results

  • Is authentication working?
  • How long does it take to access and load the site?
  • Are general things such as creating/deleting folder working?
  • Do uploads work, do they fail, or are they too slow?
  • Do downloads work?
  • How much bandwidth is consumed during uploads and downloads?
  • Do content class searches work (e.g contentclass:STS_Site)?
