The LargeFileTest reveals the number of files available in specific directories on a host that are of or above a configured size. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the LargeFileTest.

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

• In the DIRECTORIES text box, specify a comma-separated list of directories to be searched and file sizes, in the following format:{FULL_PATH_TO_DIR}@{FILE_SIZE}. For example, to check whether the directory c:\documents\important consists of files that are of size 2 MB or above, specify the following in the DIRECTORIES text box: c:\documents\important@2. Similarly, multiple {DIR}@{FILE_SIZE} combinations can be provided as a comma-separated list. For example: c:\documents\important@2,c:\letters\business@1. In case of Unix environments, this will be:/opt/docs@2,/opt/bin@3.

• Set the RECURSIVE flag to yes to ensure that the test searches even the sub-directories within the configured DIRECTORIES for the files. By setting this flag to no, you can instruct the test to search for the files in the parent directory only.

• 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. .
