This test monitors pre-configured tasks at periodic intervals and reports the count of tasks in various stages of progress.

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

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

• By default, all is displayed in the TASKLIST text box indicating that the test monitors all scheduled tasks by default. You can override this default setting by providing a comma-separated list of tasks to be monitored. Note that the task name specified here should be exactly the same as that which is displayed in the ‘Scheduled Tasks’ window that appears when the ‘Scheduled Tasks’ option in the Control Panel is clicked.

• If this test is being configured for a Windows 2008 system, then you can exclude all scheduled tasks that reside in specific folders from the monitoring purview of this test. For this , provide a comma-separated list of folders to be excluded in this text box. For instance, \Microsoft,\*\Windows\*,\*\WPD,\*\Windows Defender. By default, the EXCLUDE FOLDER parameter is none.

• Once the necessary values have 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.
