Configuration of QpidConsumerTest

Using this test, the administrators can monitor whether/not the current state of the consumer is active ensuring that the consumers receive messages from the Queue without any distortion.

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

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

• In the HOST text box, specify the IP address of the target server that is being monitored.

• In the PORT text box, specify the port number through which the Apache Qpid Java Broker communicates. The default port is 8080.

• By default, the eG agent executes REST APIs on the target component to collect the required metrics. For the eG agent to execute the REST APIs, a user with monitoring privilege is required. Specify the name of such a user in the USERNAME text box.

• In the PASSWORD text box, specify the password corresponding to the user mentioned in the Username text box and confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

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

• In the TIMEOUT text box, specify the duration (in seconds) within which the query executed by this test should time out.

• Once the above values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
