This test is used to monitor the status of the port and the availability of the ICA connection. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the IcaConnectionTest.

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

• In the TARGETPORTS textbox specify either a comma-separated list of port numbers that are to be tested (eg., 1494,1495,1496), or a comma-separated list of port name:port number pairs that are to be tested (eg., ica:1494,smtp:25,mssql:1433). In the latter case, the port name will be displayed in the monitor interface. Alternatively, this parameter can take a comma-separated list of port name:IP address:port number pairs that are to be tested, so as to enable the test to try and connect to Tcp ports on multiple IP addresses. For example, mysql:192.168.0.102:1433,egwebsite:209.15.165.127:80.

• Specify the maximum duration (in seconds) in the TIMEOUT textbox for which the test will wait for a response from the server. The default TIMEOUT period is 60 seconds.

• If the value chosen is YES in the ISPASSIVE textbox, then the server under consideration is a passive server in a cluster. No alerts will be generated if the server is not running. Measures will be reported as "Not applicable' by the agent if the server is not up.

• 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 value has been entered, clicking on the Update button will 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.
