This test tracks requests to Confluence and reports the time taken by Confluence to service the requests. In the process, the test reveals request processing bottlenecks in Confluence and its overall health. The test also captures and reports errors in processing, thus enabling administrators to promptly intervene and fix the errors. Additionally, the test also runs a sample query on the Confluence database, reports the time taken for the query to run, and thus points to any latency in database connectivity, so that administrators can figure out if that could be impacting the performance of Confluence. 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.
