Default Parameters for Exc2013SmtpSenTest

This test auto-discovers the send connectors of the Transport service, and for each connector, reports the message load on that connector, reveals how well the connector handles the load, captures errors/failures experienced by the connector, and thus points administrators to those connectors that are unable to handle the load or are error-prone. In the process, the test enables administrators to figure out where email delivery is bottlenecked.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the Exc2013SmtpSenTest.

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

• 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.
