Default Parameters for Exc2013ActSyncTest

This test tracks the synchronization and ping requests to the ActiveSync server, checks how quickly ActiveSync services these requests, counts the requests pending processing, and in this way, points administrators to probable processing bottlenecks on the server. The test also measures the time spent by the requests at various stages of processing, and thus precisely pinpoints where the bottleneck lies – did ping/hanging sync take too long? did LDAP calls to the domain controller take too long? was RDP access to the mailbox server slow? were issues in proxying delaying request processing?

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the Exc2013ActSyncTest.

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

• 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.
