The LargeFileTest reveals the number of files on a host that are of or above a configured size. 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, the host name of the component for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• In the DIRECTORIES text box, specify a comma-separated list of directories to be searched and file sizes, in the following format:{FULL_PATH_TO_DIR}@{FILE_SIZE}. For example, to check whether the directory c:\documents\important consists of files that are of size 2 MB or above, specify the following in the DIRECTORIES text box: c:\documents\important@2. Similarly, multiple {DIR}@{FILE_SIZE} combinations can be provided as a comma-separated list. For example: c:\documents\important@2,c:\letters\business@1. In case of Unix environments, this will be:/opt/docs@2,/opt/bin@3.

• Set the RECURSIVE flag to yes to ensure that the test searches even the sub-directories within the configured DIRECTORIES for the files. By setting this flag to no, you can instruct the test to search for the files in the parent directory only.

• To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG system embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test, by default, for a particular server, choose the On option against DETAILED DIAGNOSIS. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

  The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

  • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability

  • Both the bad and normal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

• 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 components, 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.
