Default Parameters for ARSWStatusTest

This test reports the total number of users logged into the switch and also monitors the processing load on the switch. In the process, this test helps administrators figure out if the processing load on the switch is abnormally high. This test also gives clear indicators to potential overload condition, if any.

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

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

• This test uses the Arista Switch CLI to pull metrics. To use the CLI, the test first needs to connect to the Arista Switch via SSH, and then run commands using CLI. For running the commands, this test requires the privileges of a valid SSH user with permission to run the CLI commands. Specify the user name and password of such a user against SSH USERNAME and SSH PASSWORD text boxes.

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

• Specify the duration (in seconds) for which the SNMP query executed by this test should time out in the TIMEOUT text box. By default, this is set to 10 seconds.

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