This chapter describes how to test that your Virtual Traffic Manager installation is working properly, and details the ways to deal with any problems you might encounter.

## Tools and Techniques

If you are testing your Virtual Traffic Manager configuration, there are a range of tools and techniques you can make use of to understand your configuration, and the behavior of your network traffic:

- **Diagnosis**: The Cluster Diagnosis page runs a number of tests across your Virtual Traffic Manager system, checking network connectivity, health monitors, configuration errors and conflicting configuration.
- **Event Log**: The Event Log (displayed on the Home Page and the Event Log Page) records any significant events that have occurred.
- **Connections**: The Connections report gives an instant display of ongoing and recent connections: where they came from, how they were handled, how much data was transferred, etc.
- **Request Logging**: The Virtual Traffic Manager can write full logs so that you can record all the details about each request and response for later analysis.
- **Configuration Summary**: If you have a sophisticated configuration, the configuration summary describes what configuration objects are in use, and how they are related.
- **Audit Log**: The Audit Log records all configuration changes; when they were made, which user made them, and where the user came from.

This chapter describes each of these tools and techniques in detail.
