Default Parameters for WMIHealthTest

This test emulates a WMI script execution on a target Windows host, and in the process, checks the status of the WMI service and of the script execution. This way, the test points eG users to the real reason why the eG agent was unable to pull metrics from a Windows target - is it the non-availability of the WMI service? Or is it the failure of the script?

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

• 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.
