Default Parameters for HttpResponseTest

Using this test, administrators can check the server availability and responsiveness of the REST URL that is being configured for monitoring.

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

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

  • This test helps you to determine the availability and responsiveness of a specific web site on the web server. To enable this, you need to configure the test with the URL of the web page that it should access. Specify this URL against the REST URL parameter. For example: http://192.168.58.78/isearch-admin/api/leap_sync/leap_sync_switch.

  • eG Enterprise generates alerts based on the response received from the URL specified against the Rest URL field. For this purpose, the response from the URL should be mapped to a number value so that eG would apply the thresholds to send the alerts to the user. Lets say, the responses received from the URL are SYNC_OFF and SYNC_ON, these values may be mapped to 100 and 50, respectively. Now, you should configure the KeyValueMapping field in the following format: SYNC_ON:100,SYNC_OFF:50,default:0

  • By default, the PRODUCEDEBUGLOG parameter is set to false indicating that this test will not create log files that contain information required for troubleshooting. However, if you want to generate the log files for troubleshooting purpose, then, set this parameter to true.

  • 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.
