Default Parameters for ZoneUptimeTest

The ZoneUptimeTest measures the uptime of each zone of a Solaris virtual server.

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

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

• The DD FREQUENCY refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. Specify the default value 1:1 in the DD FREQUENCY text box. 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 nonein this text box.

• By default, the CONNECT USING parameter is set to sudo. This indicates that, by default, this test uses the sudo command to connect to the Solaris virtual server and pull out metrics. If you want the test to use the pfexec command instead, select the pfexec option from the CONNECT USING drop-down.

• Once the above value is provided, click on the Update button to 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.
