Configuration of P6EPPMQunInfTest

This test measures the key indicators of load on the system and reports metrics like number of projects, users, resources etc. which help administrators plan and provision capacity.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the P6EPPMQunInfTest 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 host for which the test is to be configured.

  • In the PORT text box, specify the port number at which the specified host listens. By default, this is NULL.

  • In the JMX PORT text box, specify the port at which the JMX listens for requests from remote hosts. Ensure that you specify the same port that you configured in the management.properties file in the \jre\lib\management folder used by the target application (refer to the Monitoring Java Applications document) Java Applications chapter.

  • If JMX requires authentication only (but no security(, then ensure that the USERNAME and PASSWORD parameters are configured with the credentials of a user with read-write access to JMX. To know how to create this user, refer to the Monitoring Java Applications document Java Applications chapter. Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

  • Refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD FREQUENCY.

  • To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option. The option to selectively enabled/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

    • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability

    • Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

  • Once the above values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to 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.
