Use Cases
Apica Use Cases enable specific business value using your existing license model for standard, advanced, and desktop application checks. The following use cases are achieveable through the use of Apica Synthetic Monitoring Platform:
Use Case Title | Description and Readiness | Products Used |
---|---|---|
API Tests | Basic calls to APIs - single or multiple object grabs or posts | API Tools - Postman/URL-Xi |
DNS Checks and Service changes (Super GSLB) | Ability to determine health of DNS infrastructure and modify downstream DNS services via API for functions such as GSLB modifications based on health of the system | Built-in DNS |
User-Journey Checks (Full-Page Renders) | Ability to render full browser pages, including all URLs and select various objects to render and select in the process (this is our biggest seller) | Browser Checks and Selenium |
Network Performance Monitoring (NPM) | Early stages - we could use SSH checks to query actual network elements, ICMP to check health and latency, etc… no way today to look at flow data, but we have the ability to be a probe and collect TCPDUMPs. | ZT |
Application Performance Monitoring (APM) | Application Performance Monitoring (APM) | ZT |
Initial Phase with guided setup to enable full M365 monitoring through the usage of DAC checks. No GUI changes required in the initial phase. | DAC | |
Mobile Device Emulation | The ability to use DAC to emulate a smart device on screen and tap through various scenarios and offer functions such as SMS MFA. Can control all aspects of an application via a Windows Server environment. | DAC |
Real Mobile Device Tests | Ability to use DAC or ZT to control actual mobile devices and appliances to simulate user behaviors | DAC and ZT |
Mobile Device Replays | Mobile Device Replays | DAC and ZT |
Robotic Process Automations (RPA) | Robotic Process Automations (RPA) |
|
SSH Command Checks | SSH Command Checks |

Web service security SOAP messages | Sign and Encrypt Plugin for Request Content. Decrypt and Content Verify Plugin for Response Content | ZT |
Message Queue Plugin for sending Payloads to the Queue | Message Queue Plugin for sending Payloads to the Queue | ZT |
Credentials Manager | Retrieve encrypted username/password from API then plugin will decrypt data to be used in the proxysniffer script. To store username/password to server run plugin from command line and pass necessary parameters. Batch process encrypting/updating password. BEFORE USING: Replace the value for "KEY" with some password key and "AUTH_TICKET_PROD" with customer's own API auth_ticket. | ZT |
