Default Parameters for QpidPortTest

This test helps the administrators to monitor whether/not the current state of the Port is active, ensuring that there is a stable TCP/IP connectivity for messaging.

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

• 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.

• 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 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.
