Configuration of IGELDiskSpaceTest

This test monitors the space usage of every disk partition on an IGEL Endpoint.

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.

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

• In the PORT text box, specify the port at which the specified host listens.

• To obtain the ‘inside view’ of performance of the IGEL Endpoints - i.e., to measure the internal performance of the IGEL Endpoints - this test uses a light-weight Endpoint Agent software deployed on each of the IGEL Endpoints. The Endpoint Agents collect performance metrics from the IGEL Endpoints and communicate the metrics to the eG remote agent using TCP protocol. Accordingly, by default, INSIDE VIEW USING parameter is set to TCP.

• Since this test runs for an ‘IGEL Endpoints’ component, REPORT BY USER flag is set to Yes by default.

• Since this test runs for an ‘IGEL Endpoints’ component, REPORT POWERED OS flag is set to Yes by default.

• Since this test runs for an ‘IGEL Endpoints’ component, IS CLOUD VMS flag is set to Yes by default.

• Against EXCLUDE parameter, you can provide a comma-separated list of disk partitions that you want to exclude from the scope of monitoring. For example, you can use this parameter to exclude temporary partitions that the target IGEL Endpoint creates from monitoring.

• 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.
