Default Parameters for ProUptimeTest

The ProUptimeTest test monitors the uptime of the Progress database servers.

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

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

• Specify the name of the Progress database instance that is to be monitored in the DATABASE NAME text box.

• By default, the REPORTMANAGERTIME flag is set to Yes, indicating that, by default, the detailed diagnosis of this test, if enabled, will report the shutdown and reboot times of the device in the manager's time zone. If this flag is set to No, then the shutdown and reboot times are shown in the time zone of the system where the agent is running (i.e., the system being managed for agent-based monitoring, and the system on which the remote agent is running - for agentless monitoring).

• In order to monitor a Progress database instance, a special database user account has to be created in every Progress database instance that requires monitoring. This special user needs to be granted a set of privileges. To know how to create the database user and grant the required privileges, refer to click here. Specify the name of such a user in the USERNAME text box.

• Enter the password of the specified USERNAME in the PASSWORD text box.

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

• 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.
