Configuration of AppVolVersonTest_cf

This test reports the details about the App Volume managers version and its copyrights.

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.

• Specify the IP address of the HOST textbox for which this test is to be configured.

• Specify the PORT at which HOST listens. By default, this is set to 3443.

• By default, the eG agent uses the RESTful APIs to collect the metrics from the target VMware App Volumes Manager. To be able to connect to the RESTful API, the eG agent should be configured with the credentials of a user belonging to an active directory group that is vested with the Administrators (Read only) rights. Specify the credentials of such a user in the APPVOL USER text box. To know how to assign the Administrators (Read only) role to an active directory group, click here.

• Specify the APPVOL PASSWORD password that corresponds to the APPVOL USER.

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

• By default, in most virtualized environments, the VMware App Volumes Manager listens on port 3443 irrespective of being SSL-enabled or not. This implies that while monitoring the target VMware App Volumes Manager , the eG agent, by default, connects to port 3443 of the VMware App Volumes Manager to pull out metrics. Accordingly, the WEBPORT parameter is set to 3443. In some environments however, the default port 3443 might not apply. In such a case, against the WEBPORT parameter, you can specify the exact port at which the VMware App Volumes Manager in your environment listens so that the eG agent communicates with that port.

• Set the SSL flag to Yes, if SSL (Secured Socket Layer) is to be used to connect to the target VMware App Volumes Manager, and No if it is not.

• 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.
