Default Parameters for CouchDBHttpResTest

The backup and sync operations performed by the target server should be seamless and fast enough to ensure peak performance. If any slowdown is detected due to server/web site unavailability and slow responses from the web site, then the data integrity will become questionable. This will adversely impact the user productivity and experience. Using this test, administrators can continuously track the availability and responsiveness of the server so as to ensure uninterrupted operations.

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

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

• In order to monitor an Apache CouchDB server, a special database user account with Admin privilege has to be created in every Apache CouchDB server instance that requires monitoring. In the USERNAME text box, specify the Username for monitoring the target Apache CouchDB server instance.To create a new user, refer Creating a new user on Apache CouchDB topic.

• Specify the password of the specified Username in the PASSWORD textbox.

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

• 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.
