Default Parameters for CtxXcXDCLoadIdxTest

Administrators can use the CtxXcXDCLoadIdxTest to periodically evaluate the load on the servers managed by a delivery group. This is imperative to ensure that load is uniformly balanced across the servers. In addition, in times of an overload, this test can help administrators accurately identify which server is overloaded and which resource is the constraint.

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

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

• 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 are discussed. 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.

• By default, the REPORT BY DELIVERY GROUP flag is set to No indicating that this test reports metrics for every server OS machine in each delivery group configured on the broker. You can set this flag to Yes if you want this test to group the machines by delivery group and display the delivery groups as the primary descriptors. In this case, expanding a delivery group will reveal the secondary descriptors, which are the server OS machines.

• 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.
