Default Parameters for EgInfrastructureTest

This test auto-discovers the applications managed by the eG Enterprise system, automatically categorizes the applications into pre-configured categories, and for every category, reports the total number of managed, unmanaged, and deleted components.

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

  • 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.

  • The DD FREQUENCY refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD FREQUENCY.

  • 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.
