Recipe: Failover test script writer

Generate a PowerShell script that simulates license-server outages so you can validate Nimbus offline-grace behavior before shipping.

What you get

  • ▸A single .ps1 that blocks outbound HTTPS to the license endpoint for configurable durations.
  • ▸Built-in circuit-breaker logging so you can correlate Nimbus retry windows with your own telemetry.
  • ▸Cleanup routine that restores firewall rules on exit — safe to run on staging VMs.

Quick start

  1. Open the recipe in the dashboard and click Generate.
  2. Copy the script to a staging machine running the Nimbus loader.
  3. Run .\failover-test.ps1 -DurationSeconds 120.
  4. Observe the loader enter offline-grace mode within the configured window.
