Configuration of HAProxyTest

This test monitors each proxy service associated with the target Proxy server and for each proxy service, reports the status, session utilization, session related statistics such as current sessions, maximum sessions, errors that were detected etc. Using this test, administrators can easily figure out processing bottlenecks and rectify the same before the users complain of slow responsiveness of the proxy server.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

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

• Specify the host for which the test is to be configured in the HOST text box.

• 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.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• 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.
