Default Parameters for DockContConnTest

This test monitors the network connectivity to the Docker containers from an external location.

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

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

• Specify the size of packets used for the test has in the PACKETSIZE text box.

• Specify number of packets to be transmitted during the test in the PACKETCOUNT text box.

• Specify the maximum time (in seconds) that the test should wait for the response to a transmitted packet. A response received after the TIMEOUT period is ignored by the test. The default timeout period is 100 seconds.

• The PACKETINTERVAL text box represents the interval (in milliseconds) between successive packet transmissions during the execution of the NetworkTest for a specific target.

• By default, the USESUDO flag is set to Yes indicating either of the following:

  • The eG agent is using the sudo commands to collect the required metrics from the target docker server if monitored in an agent based manner or

  • The target docker server is monitored in an agentless manner and the eG agent install user is within a docker group.

  If the target docker server is monitored in an agentless manner and the user privileges are altered in the /etc/sudoers file, then, set this flag to No.

• 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.
