Default Parameters for GitEventTest

A user with a valid account on the GitHub site can perform various actions within his/her account. Every action performed by the user is recorded as an event in a read-only API for GitHub events. These recorded events are helpful for tracking the history of past activities performed in the account. By analyzing the history of events, the user can instantly know the type of events that was performed frequently, the changes on repositories, whether the events were created by himself/herself or from outside, the details on the status of issues, etc. To help the users in this regard, this test monitors the events recorded in the read-only API and reports the number of different events reported over the time.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the GitEventTest test.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• Specify the valid credentials of a user of the GitHub against the USERNAME and PASSWORD textboxes.

• Confirm the password by retyping it in CONFIRM PASSWORD textbox.

• The DD FREQUENCY refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD FREQUENCY.

• Once the above values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz*” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
