Default Parameters for SSRSNwThrptTest

This test is used to observe the incoming and outgoing network traffic of the Report server. This will help you detect abnormal network activity on and unusual bandwidth usage by the server.

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

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

• Specify the name of a specific SQL Report server instance that is to be monitored in the INSTANCE text box. The default value of this parameter is “default”. However, if the Microsoft SQL Server hosting the SQL Reporting Server database uses named instances, then do the following:

  • Configure the INSTANCE parameter with the name of the SQL Server instance that hosts the SQL Report Server database.

  • Do not change the default value of the PORT parameter.

• If the value for the ISPASSIVE parameter is chosen as Yes, then the Microsoft SQL server (hosting the SQL report server database) under consideration is a passive server in a SQL cluster. No alerts will be generated if the server is not running. Measures will be reported as “Not applicable” by the agent if the server is not up.

• 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.
