Default Parameters for SybSegTest

This test monitors the space usage of each segment of each database on the Sybase server, and accurately points to those segments that may be running out of space.

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

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

  • To enable this test to connect to the Sybase server and collect the required metrics, it is enough if you configure the test with the name of a Sybase user who has the “mon_role” and “sa_role”. However, for best results, it is recommended that you configure all Sybase tests with the credentials of a Sybase user who has the “mon_role”, “sa_role”, and “sybase_ts_role”.

  • Specify the password corresponding to the above USER in the PASSWORD text box.

  • Confirm the PASSWORD by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

  • Specify a comma-separated list of database:segment pairs that you want the test to monitor in the INCLUDE SEGMENTS text box. By default, this parameter is set to master:default, indicating that the default segment on the master database is monitored.

  • 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.
