Default Parameters for ScvmmEngineTest

This test monitors the system jobs and reveals which types of jobs are active on SCVMM. In addition, the test also tracks the time taken by the refresher jobs of each type to execute. In the process, administrators can quickly identify the type of jobs that are latent. Furthermore, the test also measures the responsiveness of hosts, and proactively alerts administrators to any slowness in responses from hosts.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the ScvmmEngineTest 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 SCVMM server being monitored

• The eG agent runs PowerShell scripts on SCVMM to pull metrics. To run these scripts, the eG agent requires the permission of an SCVMM administrator with 'read-only' privileges. In order to grant this permission to the eG agent, configure the Username and Password parameters of this test with the credentials of an SCVMM administrator with 'read-only'' privileges. Confirm the password by retyping it in the Confirm Password text box. Then, specify the domain to which this user belongs against the Domain text box.

• 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.
