Default Parameters for HTTPErrorLogTest

This test parses the HTTP error log file, reads the reason phrases logged therein, and reports the number of errors that occurred due to each reason. Detailed diagnostics provided by the test also shed more light on the nature of these errors.

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

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

  • The httperr.log files are by default created in the %SystemRoot%\System32\LogFiles\HTTPERR folder on the target server. Since this test, by defaut, looks for the httperr.log files in the aforesaid directory only, the LOG FILE PATH parameter is set to none by default. However, if you have configured these log files to be created in a different directory in your environment, then you will have to explicitly specify the full path to these log files in the LOG FILE PATH text box. For instance, your path specification can be: C:\LogFiles\HttpErrors.

  • The DD FREQUENCY parameter refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD FREQUENCY.

  • 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.
