Default Parameters for CronLogTest

This test checks the cron log file at configured intervals and reports the status of the cron jobs.

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

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

• This test monitors the cron log file to determine the status of the cron jobs. Therefore, in the LOGFILEPATH text box, specify the path to the folder that contains the cron log file to be monitored. On Solaris, by default, this will be /var/cron/log. On other Unix hosts, specify the log file location that you provided when scheduling the execution of the wrapper script (refer to Enabling Cron Logging in non Solaris hosts).

• 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.
