Configuration of PageFileTest

The PageFileTest tracks the usage of each of the page files on a Windows server. This test will be available for Windows servers only. The default parameters associated with this test are:

  • 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.

  • Set the REPORTTOTAL flag to Yes if you want the test to report total page file usage - i.e., the aggregate usage across multiple page files. In this case therefore, a Total descriptor will newly appear for this test in the eG monitoring console.

  • If both the REPORTTOTAL and REPORTTOTALONLY flags are set to Yes, then the test will report only the aggregate usage across multiple page files - in other words, the test will report values for the Total descriptor only. Likewise, if the REPORTTOTAL flag is set to No, and the REPORTTOTALONLY flag is set to Yes, then again, the test will report current usage for the Total descriptor only. However, if both the REPORTTOTAL and REPORTTOTALONLY flags are set to No, then the test will report individual usages only. Also, if the REPORTTOTAL flag is set to Yes and the REPORTTOTALONLY flag is set to No, then both the individual and Total usages will be reported.

  • 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.
