Default Parameters for ProUnUsedIdxTest

This test reports the number and names of unused/useless indexes, and thus prompts administrators to remove them so as to save the server from unnecessary performance degradations.

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

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

• In the HOST text box, specify the IP address of the Progress database server.

• The DATABASE NAME text box, specifies the name of the Progress database instance which is to be monitored.

• In the USERNAME text box, specify the name of the user in order to monitor a Progress database instance, a special database user account has to be created in every Progress database instance that requires monitoring. This special user needs to be granted a set of privileges. To know how to create the database user and grant the required privileges, refer to Pre-Requisites for monitoring the Progress database.

• Confirm the PASSWORD by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• In the ELAPSED TIME text box, specify the duration (in seconds) beyond which a query should have executed for it to be regarded as a long running query. The default value is 10.

• 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.
