Default Parameters for JenkinsNodeTest

This test auto-discovers the nodes in the target Jenkins server, and reports the status of each node. This test also reveals the disk space and memory utilization of each node, the count of executors that are running jobs on each node, etc.

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

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

• Specify the valid credentials of a user who has Read-only access to the Jenkins REST API to gather performance metrics from the target Jenkins server against the USERNAME AND PASSWORD parameters.

• Confirm the Password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD textbox.

• By default, the SSL flag is set to No, indicating that the target Jenkins server is not SSL-enabled by default. To enable the test to connect to an SSL-enabled Jenkins server, set the SSL flag to Yes.

• 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 above values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to 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.
