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

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

• The size of packets used for the test has to be specified in the PACKETSIZE text box.

• Number of packets to be transmitted during the test has to be given in the PACKETCOUNT text box.

• The TIMEOUT text box defines the maximum time (in seconds) that the test waits for the response to a transmitted packet. A response  received after the TIMEOUT period is ignored by the test.

• The PACKETINTERVAL text box represents the interval (in milliseconds) between successive packet transmissions during the execution of the NetworkTest for a specific target.

• 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.
