This test tracks changes to the mail queue and error queue, and proactively alerts administrators if the size of these queues keeps growing consistently. This points administrators to mail delivery failures or slowness in delivery of mails to recipients. The test also alerts administrators if too many mails from the mail queue failed to be delivered and were hence placed in the error queue. This way, the test sheds light on issues with the Confluence mailing system, thereby enabling administrators to promptly resolve them. The default parameters of this test are as follows:

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

• In the JMX REMOTE PORT text box, specify the port at which the JMX listens for requests from remote hosts. Ensure that you specify the same port that you configured in the catalina.bat file in the <<ATLASSIAN_CONFLUENCE_INSTALL_DIR>>\confluence\bin directory.

• If JMX requires authentication only (but no security), then ensure that the USER and PASSWORD parameters are configured with the credentials of a user with read-write access to JMX. Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• The JNDINAME is a lookup name for connecting to the JMX connector. By default, this is jmxrmi. If you have resgistered the JMX connector in the RMI registery using a different lookup name, then you can change this default value to reflect the same.

• Specify the duration (in seconds) within which this test should wait from a response from Atlassian Confluence, in the TIMEOUT text box. The default is 10 seconds.

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.
