Default Parameters for EgJbJPATest

For each entity of an application that is to be monitored, this test reports the number of times each entity was loaded, inserted, fetched, updated, etc. In due course, this test also reports the number of times the collection of each entity was loaded, inserted, deleted, fetched, etc. This way administrators can proactively be alerted to technical failures of the applications and rectify the same before end users start complaining!

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

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

• If the JBoss AS/EAP server being monitored is an SSL-enabled server, then set the SSL flag to Yes. If not, then set the SSL flag to No.

• Specify whether the server to be monitored is currently running in DOMAIN MODE or not using the IS JBOSS RUNNING IN DOMAIN MODE? flag. By default, this flag is set to No which implies that the server is currently running in STANDALONE MODE. If you have started the target JBoss server using the default web profile configuration in domain mode i.e, if you have executed the ./domain.sh command from the <JBoss_INSTALL_DIR>/bin directory, then specify Yes against this flag.

• In the JBOSS HOST NAME text box, specify whether the target server to be monitored is a master or a slave in a JBoss cluster. By default, none will be specified here which implies that the target JBoss server is a standalone server. Refer to Monitoring JBoss AS/EAP servers document to know how to identify whether the target server is a master or slave in your environment.

• Specify the name of the server instance that is to be monitored. By default, none will be specified here. Refer to Monitoring JBoss AS/EAP servers document to identify the name of the server instance that is to be monitored.

• Specify the credentials of the user who is authorized to access the management console of the target JBoss server, in the MANAGEMENT USER and MANAGEMENT PASSWORD text boxes. To create a new user, click here.

• Confirm the MANAGEMENT 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.
