Configuration of HttpResponseTest

Using this test, administrators can check the server availability and responsiveness of the REST URL that is being configured for monitoring.

The default 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 for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

  • In the PORT text box, enter the port number at which the target host being monitored listens. By default, this is NULL.

  • This test helps you to determine the availability and responsiveness of a specific web site on the web server. To enable this, you need to configure the test with the URL of the web page that it should access. Specify this URL against the REST URL parameter. For example: http://192.168.58.78/isearch-admin/api/leap_sync/leap_sync_switch.

  • eG Enterprise generates alerts based on the response received from the URL specified against the Rest URL field. For this purpose, the response from the URL should be mapped to a number value so that eG would apply the thresholds to send the alerts to the user. Lets say, the responses received from the URL are SYNC_OFF and SYNC_ON, these values may be mapped to 100 and 50, respectively. Now, you should configure the KeyValueMapping field in the following format: SYNC_ON:100,SYNC_OFF:50,default:0

  • By default, the PRODUCEDEBUGLOG parameter is set to false indicating that this test will not create log files that contain information required for troubleshooting. However, if you want to generate the log files for troubleshooting purpose, then, set this parameter to true.

  • 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.
