Default Parameters for EgAgentOverviewTest

To receive precise, real-time updates on the performance and overall health of the components being monitored, administrators need to ensure that the eG agent, which performs the actual monitoring functions, is communicating with the eG manager at all times. This test periodically monitors the communication between the eG agent and the eG manager and also reports administrators on the numerical statistics of the tests that were executing for the eG agent, the files stored in the data folder and the size of the files stored in the data folder. This test also helps administrators to identify the time taken to upload the data from the eG agent to the eG manager.

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

• 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.
