This test monitors the documents received and sent by each host instance on the BizTalk server, and reports the load on that host instance and delays experienced by the host instance while processing the documents.

Using this test, administrators can easily isolate host instances that are overloaded or are experiencing bottlenecks in processing.

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

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

• If the ISPASSIVE parameter is set to YES, then it means that, by default, all BizTalk servers being monitored by the eG system are the passive servers of a BizTalk cluster. No alerts will be generated if the servers are not running. Measures will be reported as "Not applicable" by the agent if the servers are not up.

• Once the necessary values have been 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.
