Default Parameters for HAPUptimeTest

This test included in the eG agent monitors the uptime of the target HA Proxy server.

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

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

  • Specify the user name of the proxy server in the HA PROXY USERNAME text box.

  • Enter the password of the proxy server in the HA PROXY PASSWORD text box.

  • Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

  • Specify the port used by the HA Proxy server in the HA PROXY PORT text box.

  • By default, the HA Proxy server is SSL-enabled. Accordingly, the SSL flag is set to Yes by default. This indicates that the eG agent will communicate with the HA Proxy server via HTTPS by default.

  • Specify the time duration (in seconds) beyond which this test should time out in the HA PROXY TIMEOUT text box. The default is 240 seconds.

  • By default, eG Enterprise is capable of monitoring the proxy servers that are SSL-enabled. For this, you need to configure the test with separate credentials for accessing the target proxy server. This can be achieved by clicking the icon available against the SYSTEM PROPERTIES parameter. The SYSTEM PROPERTIES CONFIGURATION pop up window then appears. In the pop up window, you need to specify the following:

    • Property: Here, specify the protocol that should be used when the target proxy server is SSL - enabled. By default, this value is set to none. For example, if the target proxy server is using -Dhttps.protocol then, specify -Dhttps.protocol against this text box.

    • Value: Specify the SSL version of the web page(s) that need to be accessed by the target proxy server. By default, this value is set to none. For example, if the web pages accessed by the target proxy server is using TLS v1.3, then, specify TLS v1.3 against this text box.

    Once you have specified the Property and Values, click the Update button to register your changes. To add another set of SYSTEM PROPERTIES, click the Add more button. To delete a set of SYSTEM PROPERTIES, click the encircled “-” button available against each set of system properties. To clear the text boxes, click the Clear button.

  • The DD FREQUENCY refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD FREQUENCY.

  • 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.
