Configuration of NPSSysHealthTest

For each system health validator on NPS, this test reports the rate of compliances and non-compliances reported by that system health validator, thus shedding light on validations that often resulted in non-compliances. In addition, the test also reports the rate at which health statements could not be adjudged compliant/non-compliant, pinpoints the system health validators that sent out such statements, and reveals the reason for the same – is it owing to frequent server side failures? Or client side failures? Or is it because of other failures? The test also highlights ‘slow’ validators by measuring the responsiveness of every validator at pre-configured intervals.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

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

• Specify the the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured in the HOST text box.

• In the PORT text box, specify the port at which the specified HOST listens. By default, this is NULL.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
