Default Parameters for JenkinsQueueTest

This test monitors the queue in the Jenkins server, and reports ID of the queue where the jobs are being queued and the status of each job in the queue. This test also reveals if any job is being blocked/stuck (waiting for an executor) in the queue. These statistics help administrators to instantly identify the jobs that are being blocked/stuck or residing in the queue for a prolonged period and take necessary actions for the same.

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

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to choose how often should the test be executed. By default, this is set to 30 minutes.

• 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 Microsoft SQL server is not SSL-enabled by default. To enable the test to connect to an SSL-enabled Microsoft SQL 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.
