iDrone is the poller used by APM for automatically monitoring and reporting the success or failure of a specific end user activity. Once installed and registered with Network Performance Monitor, the iDrone utilizes scripts or macros (generated by iMacros) to automatically test application performance without user interaction. When adding an End User Monitoring component to an application profile in APM, you must select an active iDrone for use with the component prior to saving changes to the application profile. An End User Monitoring component cannot be created without an iDrone.
Note: If you use the APM plug-in End User Monitoring (EUM) component to automatically test application performance, you must install the iDrone poller on a machine other than the WhatsUp Gold server. Then, in order for iDrone to communicate with the WhatsUp Gold APM plug-in, make sure that .NET Framework 3.5 is installed on the WhatsUp Gold system.
