Default Parameters for SecGrpMgntTest

This test keeps track of changes made to groups and members, and promptly notifies administrators when such changes are made. Moreover, the detailed diagnosis of the test also reveals the details of the changes – for instance, if a global group is created, then detailed metrics provided by the test indicate which group was created and which user created the group. This enables administrators to determine whether/not the change was made by an authorized user.

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

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

• The DD FREQUENCY 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.
