Default Parameters for ExcDBInstTest

This test auto-discovers the ESE database instances, and reports the following for every instance:

  • How well each database instance is using its cache;
  • How quickly an ESE database instance processes I/O requests;
  • How swiftly an ESE database instance recovers from failures;
  • Whether/not the log buffers are adequately sized;

This way, this test accurately pinpoints that database instance, the performance of which is bottlenecked, leads administrators to where the bottleneck lies, and thus hastens remedial action.

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

  • 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.
