Configuring the Tracetest Cloud Agent (Public Access)

The Tracetest Cloud Agent allows you to run Tracetest tests against public facing endpoints without deploying the Tracetest Agent locally. This allows you to trigger tests against public endpoints and collect trace data from either public tracing backends or, alternatively, directly receive incoming OTLP data.

Tracetest Cloud Agent is the same as Tracetest Agent but is managed and running as part of your Tracetest account.

Tracetest Cloud Agent runs in your Tracetest account.

Once started, Tracetest Cloud Agent exposes TLS port 443 to ingest traces via gRPC and HTTP and is responsible for running tests. Read the detailed concepts here.
