Overview

This node interacts with the Basalt API to create an experiment for monitoring purposes. It is designed to facilitate the creation of experiments on specific features by specifying the feature slug and experiment name. This is useful in scenarios where users want to monitor and analyze the performance or behavior of features through experiments, such as A/B testing or feature flag monitoring.

Use Case Examples

1. Creating an experiment to monitor the impact of a new feature rollout by specifying the feature slug and naming the experiment accordingly.
2. Setting up multiple experiments for different features to track their performance independently within the Basalt monitoring system.

Properties

Output

JSON

• id - Unique identifier of the created experiment.
• name - Name of the created experiment.
• featureSlug - Slug of the feature associated with the experiment.
• status - Current status of the experiment (e.g., active, completed).
• createdAt - Timestamp when the experiment was created.

Dependencies

• Basalt API with an API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the feature slug provided is valid and exists in the Basalt system to avoid errors related to feature identification.
• Check network connectivity and proxy settings if requests fail or time out.
• If SSL certificate validation errors occur, consider enabling the option to ignore SSL issues, but be aware of the security implications.
• Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has the necessary permissions to create experiments.
