Default Parameters for CouchDBCmpctTest

This test monitors the target CouchDB server and reports the number of compactions running on the server. In addition, this test also reveals the number of compactions running for a long time and also reports the running time of compaction greater than the configured running time. Using this test, administrators can be alerted to irregularities in compaction process if any, and rectify them at a faster pace.

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.
