Measure custom endpoints to evaluate in your Internet Analyzer tests

Important

Azure Internet Analyzer was retired on March 15, 2024. For detailed information, see Azure Internet Analyzer retirement.

This article demonstrates how to set up a custom endpoint to measure as part of your Internet Analyzer tests. Custom endpoints help evaluate on-premises workloads, workloads running on other cloud providers, and custom Azure configurations. Comparing two custom endpoints in one test is possible if one endpoint is an Azure resource. For more information on Internet Analyzer, see the overview.

Certain features may not be supported, may have constrained capabilities, or may not be available in all Azure locations. See the Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews for details.

Before you begin

Make sure you set up an Internet Analyzer resource and select the "Custom Endpoint" option. Internet Analyzer assumes your custom endpoint is Internet accessible. For more information, see Create an Internet Analyzer Resource.

Create Custom Endpoint

  1. Download a transparent one-pixel test image here. This one-pixel image is the asset the client JavaScript will fetch to measure performance.
  2. In your custom web application, deploy the test image in a publicly accessible path. The path should work over HTTPS.
  3. Copy the full custom endpoint URL (e.g. https://contoso.com/test/trans.gif) into the custom endpoint field during your test creation.
