Configuration of AGateStatusTest

The AGateStatusTest reports whether any errors occurred in the AGate component during the last measurement period. The parameters associated with this test are as follows:

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

  • In the HOST text box, the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

  • In the PORT text box, enter the port number at which the specified HOST listens.

  • This test extracts the performance metrics from the diagnostics.log file present in the {ITS_INSTALL_DIR}\6.20\{Directory corresponding to the ITS instance}\logs directory. Therefore, in the LOGFILEPATH text box, provide the full path to the diagnostics.log file in the following format: {Instance Name}={Path to the log file}. For example, if the log file for an instance named 'ADM' is to be monitored, and ITS is installed in the C:\Program Files\SAP\ITS directory, then the LOGFILEPATH specification should be as follows: ADM=c:\Progra~1\SAP\ITS\6.20\ADM\logs\diagnostics.log. To monitor the diagnostics.log files associated with multiple instances, provide the LOGFILEPATH as a comma-separated list. For example, ADM=c:\Progra~1\SAP\ITS\6.20\ADM\logs\diagnostics.log,ITS1=c:\Progra~1\SAP\ITS\6.20\ITS1\logs\diagnostics.log.

  • If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box 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.
