This test, executed by an internal agent, tracks various statistics pertaining to TCP connections to and from a host.

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

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

• The detailed diagnosis of this test lists the top-10 hosts that have established the maximum number of TCP connections with the monitored host. Set the REPORTINGNAMES flag to Yes if you want the detailed diagnosis to display the host name of these hosts and not the IP address. To view the IP address of the hosts instead, set the REPORTINGNAMES flag to No.

• Once the above value is provided, 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.
