Default Parameters for EgThresholdManagerTest

This test reports the current status of the threshold manager process, points you to threshold computation failures and where they occurred, and reveals slowdowns in threshold computation (if any).

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

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

  • Specify the port at which the JMX listens for requests from remote hosts in the JMX REMOTE PORT text box. In the <EG_MANAGER_INSTALL_DIR>\manager directory (on Windows; on Unix, this will be the /opt/egurkha/manager directory) of the eG manager, you will find a management.properties file. Set the port defined against the com.sun.management.jmxremote.port parameter of the file as the JMX REMOTE PORT.

  • By default, JMX requires no authentication or security. Therefore, the USER, PASSWORD, and CONFIRM PASSWORD parameters are set to none by default.

  • The JNDINAME is a lookup name for connecting to the JMX connector. By default, this is jmxrmi. If you have resgistered the JMX connector in the RMI registery using a different lookup name, then you can change this default value to reflect the same in the JNDINAME text box.

  • This test reports a Successful threshold tests measure, which indicates the number of tests for which the threshold manager successfully computed thresholds. The detailed diagnosis of this measure, if enabled, will by default list only the top-10 successful threshold tests, arranged in the descending order of the time taken by the threshold manager to compute thresholds on them. To arrive at this top-10 list, the test considers only those successful tests for which the threshold manager took more than 1 minute (by default) for threshold computation. This is why, the THRESHOLD DURATION OF TEST parameter is set to 1 (minute) by default. This default setting can be overridden by specifying a duration (in minutes) of your choice in the THRESHOLD DURATION OF TEST text box. For instance, if you specify 5 here, then, the detailed diagnosis will list the top-10 (by default) successful threshold tests for which the threshold manager took more than 5 minutes for threshold computation.

  • Once the necessary values have been entered, 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.
