Configuration of DockContConnTest

This test monitors the network connectivity to the Docker containers from an external location.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

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

  • Specify the host for which the test is to be configured in the HOST text box.

  • Provide port number at which the specified HOST listens. The default is 2375.

  • Specify the size of packets used for the test has in the PACKETSIZE text box.

  • Specify number of packets to be transmitted during the test in the PACKETCOUNT text box.

  • Specify the maximum time (in seconds) that the test should wait for the response to a transmitted packet. A response received after the TIMEOUT period is ignored by the test. The default timeout period is 100 seconds.

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

  • By default, the USESUDO flag is set to Yes indicating either of the following:

    • The eG agent is using the sudo commands to collect the required metrics from the target docker server if monitored in an agent based manner or

    • The target docker server is monitored in an agentless manner and the eG agent install user is within a docker group.

    If the target docker server is monitored in an agentless manner and the user privileges are altered in the /etc/sudoers file, then, set this flag to No.

  • If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

  • Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
