This test automatically identifies the top 5 tables in a given database in terms of size, and reports the current size of each table.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the MySqlTop5TabTest.

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

• Specify the name of a database on the server in the DB text box.

• The eG agent has to be configured with the credentials of a user who is authorized to login to the target MySQL server, and who has access rights to the DB specified in the DB text box. Therefore provide the credentials of such user in the USER and PASSWORD text boxes. To know how to create a user with the privilege to connect to the target MySQL server, refer to Section 6.1.1 of the Monitoring Database Servers document.

• Confirm the PASSWORD by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• 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.
