Alternating Campaigns

The Alternating Campaigns page allows users with the superadmin role to configure scheduled switches in the traffic operating mode for selected traffic processor groups. This feature is valuable for collecting performance statistics to analyze network behavior under different optimization states. To access the Alternating Campaigns page, start at the Platform menu, expand Tools, and select Alternating Campaigns in the sidebar. Begin by selecting the desired instance group for the campaign at the top of the page.

Configure the following parameters to create a campaign:

• Date Range: Define the start and end dates for the alternating campaign. The start date must be in the future, and it is recommended to align campaign start and end times to the hour.

• Alternating Campaign Duration: Specify the interval for switching between operating modes:

  Option	Description
  REGULAR_CAMPAIGN	Sets the Starting Mode as the sole operating mode for the entire campaign duration. No alternation occurs, regardless of the Alternate Mode setting.
  FIFTEEN_MINUTES	Switches the operating mode between the Starting Mode and the Alternate Mode every 15 minutes within the campaign window.
  THIRTY_MINUTES	Switches the operating mode between the Starting Mode and the Alternate Mode every 30 minutes within the campaign window.
  SIXTY_MINUTES	Switches the operating mode between the Starting Mode and the Alternate Mode every 60 minutes within the campaign window.
  TWELVE_HOURS	Switches the operating mode between the Starting Mode and the Alternate Mode every 12 hours within the campaign window.
  ONE_DAY	Switches the operating mode between the Starting Mode and the Alternate Mode every day within the campaign window.

• Starting Mode: The initial operating mode that will be active at the beginning of the campaign.

• Alternate Mode: The operating mode to which the system will switch after each campaign duration interval, and then switch back to the Starting Mode for the subsequent interval.

• Group: The specific group of instances on which the campaign will be executed.

After configuring the campaign parameters, select Create Campaign to initiate the alternating campaign. The Upcoming Campaigns and Completed Campaigns sections below display the status of campaigns and allow you to delete scheduled campaigns.

Upcoming Campaigns

All scheduled campaigns will be displayed here. The Operating Mode here is the initial mode of the campaign. After the campaign has started, this will then display the upcoming alternation (if campaign has a duration other than REGULAR_CAMPAIGN).

Completed Campaigns

All campaigns that are finished will be display here. Note that this will display all alternations of a campaign separately.
