This test is used to provide information about the tomcat engine. The 'Engine' represents the entire request processing machinery associated with a particular Catalina Service. It receives and processes all requests from one or more Connectors, and returns the completed response to the Connector for ultimate transmission back to the client.

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

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

• Specify the path of the directory in the SERVER PATH text box to which the tomcat server has been installed.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the Update button will register the changes made and the selected server will move over to the CONFIGURED COMPONENTS panel.

• The test parameters for an already configured server can be reconfigured using the Reconfigure button. The parameter configuration page reappears and the required changes can be made to the existing values of the parameters.

• If the test under consideration is not to be executed for any of the configured servers, they can be removed from the list using the Exclude button doing which will move the server to the EXCLUDED COMPONENTS panel.

• Clicking on the Include button in this panel will add the excluded server to the list of servers to be configured.

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.
