Configuration of AppFabricHostTest

This test monitors the Microsoft AppFabric Caching and reports host-level performance metrics. The request serving ability and the size of the data of the primary cache server or the host cache is monitored and reported. Using this test, administrators are alerted to poor responsiveness (if any) of the primary cache so that corrective measures can be quickly initiated.

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, specify the IP address of the host for which this test is to be configured.

• In the PORT text box, specify the port at which the specified Host listens. By default, this will be NULL.

• 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.
