Agents Administration - Tests
 

Configuration of NvidiaFeatureTest

Using this test, administrators can understand how well the NVIDIA vGPU software licenses of each type are being used, and accordingly plan license requirements for the future. Moreover, the test also promptly alerts administrators if the overdraft licenses are being served by the license server.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

  • The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide How often should the test be executed. By default, the Test Period is set to 5 minutes.

  • In the HOST text box, specify the host for which the test is to be configured.

  • Specify the port at which the NVIDIA License server is listening in the PORT text box.

  • 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.

  • The DETAILED DIAGNOSIS makes diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise suite embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option. The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

    • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability
    • Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0

  • If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

  • 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.
