This test monitors the Forefront TMG and reports the number of email messages that were scanned for malicious content, the number of messages that were blocked for the malicious content present in it and the number of messages that were categorized as spam.

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

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

• If the ISPASSIVE parameter is set to Yes, then it means that, by default, all the Forefront TMG servers being monitored by the eG system are the passive servers of a Forefront TMG cluster. No alerts will be generated if the servers are not running. Measures will be reported as “Not applicable” by the agent if the servers are not up.

• 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.
