Configuration of ExcDBInstTest

This test auto-discovers the ESE database instances, and reports the following for every instance:

• How well each database instance is using its cache;
• How quickly an ESE database instance processes I/O requests;
• How swiftly an ESE database instance recovers from failures;
• Whether/not the log buffers are adequately sized;

This way, this test accurately pinpoints that database instance, the performance of which is bottlenecked, leads administrators to where the bottleneck lies, and thus hastens remedial action.

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 host for which the test is to be configured in the HOST text box.

• Specify the port at which the specified HOST listens to in the PORT text box.

• 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.
