Default Parameters for LtmAppURLAccessTest

For each URL through which applications are accessed by the end users, this test reports the time taken by the applications that are load balanced by the target traffic manager to respond to requests, reports the average load time of the application etc. Using this test, administrators can easily identify URL segment groups that are adversely impacting user experience with the web application. This way, you can identify the transactions to the web application that are slow.

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

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

• This test groups URLs based on the URL segments configured for monitoring and reports aggregated response time metrics for every group.

  Using the URL GROUPING COUNT parameter, you can specify a comma-separated list of URL segment numbers based on which the pages are to be grouped.

  URL segments are the parts of a URL (after the base URL) or path delimited by slashes. So if you had the URL: http://www.eazykart.com/web/shopping/login.jsp, then, http://www.eazykart.com will be the base URL or domain, /web will be the first URL segment, /shopping will be the second URL segment, and /login.jsp will be the third URL segment.

  By default, this parameter is set to 3. This default setting, when applied to the sample URL provided above, the test will report metrics for the descriptor /login.jsp. If you set this value to 2, then the test will report metrics for the descriptor /shopping.

• Once the above values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to 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.
