Default Parameters for MongoCacheTest

This test reports the maximum cache size and how much of this size is presently occupied by cached data; this reveals, whether/not the cache has enough RAM to hold additional data. Inconsistencies in cache sizing can be detected in the process and their impact on performance analyzed. Writes from cache to disk and cache evictions are also monitored, so that administrators can quickly detect bottlenecks in these processes and initiate measures to fine-tune these processes to curb cache growth.

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

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

• The test connects to a specific Mongo database to run API commands and pull metrics of interest. Specify the name of this database in the DATABASE NAME text box. The default value of this parameter is admin.

• 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.
