Default Parameters for ShareFileConnTest

This test emulates a user accessing the ShareFile account via HTTP/HTTPS and in the process, reports whether/not the Control Plane is available. If it is available, the test also reports the connection time and how long the Control Plane took to authenticate that user access. This way, the test also promptly captures authentication failures and delays, well before the user registers a complaint with help desk.

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

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

• Provide the email ID of the Sharefile user with ‘Admin’ access to Sharefile in the EMAIL ID text box. The credentials of this user are necessary for connecting to the Sharefile REST API, running API commands, and pulling out metrics.

• Specify the password associated with the configured EMAIL ID in the PASSWORD text box.

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

• Indicate whether/not Sharefile is SSL-enabled. By default, the SSL flag is set to Yes.

• 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.
