Configuration of HTTPSvcURLGroupTest

This test monitors each HTTP Service URL Group of the target server and reveals how well data was transmitted to and from each service URL group. This helps administrators quickly figure out which service URL group is handling too much of data traffic and encountering incoming/outgoing data traffic congestion, if any. This test not only reports the number of attempts to connect to each service URL group, but also the number of connections that are currently established to each service URL group. This way, the test helps administrators identify the service URL group that is handling maximum current connection load and GET/HEAD requests.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

  • The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. By default, this is set to 5 minutes.

  • Specify the host for which the test is to be configured in the HOST text box.

  • Specify the port number at which the specified host listens to in the PORT text box. The default port is 80.

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

  • Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
