Default Parameters for CacheProcessTest

The CacheProcessTest is used to verify whether all required system processes and application processes are running or not on a Cache database server instance. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the CacheProcessTest.

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

  • This test uses the cstat utility to collect the required metrics. This utility is typically run from the install directory of a monitored Cache instance. Therefore, in the INSTANCEDIRECTORY text box, specify the name of the instance being monitored and the install directory of that instance, in the following format: InstanceName:InstallDirectory. To ensure that the test reports metrics for multiple Cache instances, provide a comma-separated list of InstanceName:InstallDirectory pairs in the INSTANCEDIRECTORY text box. For example: CACHEWEB:d:\Intersystems\CacheWeb,CACHE2:d:\Intersystems\Cache2.

  • Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will 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.
