Configuration of CtxXcXDAppDiskTest

This test auto-discovers the AppDisks, and for each AppDisk reports the state of the AppDisk and the number of application packages installed on it. Detailed diagnostics provided by this test also reveal which applications are installed on which AppDisk.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

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

• In the HOST text box, the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• Specify the port at which the DDC listens in the PORT text box.

• In order to monitor the Delivery Controller 7, eG requires a special user with the following privileges;

  • The All scope and read-only privileges

  • The Allow log on locally security privilege on the Delivery Controller host

  To know the steps for assigning such privileges to a user, click here. Specify the name of such a user, in the USERNAME text box.

• Specify the password for the user specified in the USERNAME text box, in the PASSWORD text box.

• Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• In the DOMAIN text box, specify the domain to which the user specified in the USERNAME text box belongs to.

• To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise suite embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the DETAILED DIAGNOSIS capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

  The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

  • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability

  • Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

• 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.
