Default Parameters for MultiPortStatTest

This test tracks various statistics pertaining to TCP connections to and from a host, from an external perspective.

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

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

• Specify a comma-separated list of IP addresses of the host systems to be monitored in the TARGETHOST text box. For example:192.168.9.86,192.168.8.122, 192.168.8.202.

• In the TARGET PORT text box, specify either a comma-separated list of port numbers that are to be tested (eg., 80,7077,1521), or a comma-separated list of port name:port number pairs that are to be tested (eg., smtp:25,mssql:1433). In the latter case, the port name will be displayed in the monitor interface. Alternatively, this parameter can take a comma-separated list of port name:IP address:port number pairs that are to be tested, so as to enable the test to try and connect to TCP ports on multiple IP addresses. For example, mysql:192.168.0.102:1433,egwebsite:209.15.165.127:80.

• 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.
