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.

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

The default parameters associated with 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 HOST text box, the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• In the PORT text box, enter the port number at which the specified HOST listens.

• 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.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the Update button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a "*" beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a "$" or contain a series of "*". A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
