eG Monitoring
 
Measures reported by RHEVMEventsTest

This test enables administrators to promptly capture and report the count and details of critical information, error, and warning events that are generated on the RHEV manager.

By default, the test monitors a pre-defined set of events belonging to pre-configured event categories. You can override this default setting by including/excluding specific events from an event category or by adding more categories. To achieve this, do the following:

  • Edit the eg_tests.ini file in the <EG_INSTALL_DIR>\manager\config directory.

  • In the [RhevEvents] section of this file, you will find the event categories that are currently monitored by RHEV Events test, and the individual events of each category. The format of these entries is:
    RHEVEventsTest:<EventCategory>=<Comma-separated list of eventsIDs grouped under this category>

  • To add a new event category to the list, you just need to append a line to the [RhevEvents] section in the format mentioned above. For instance, say, you want to include a category named ImportExportEvents to event categories that pre-exist. In this case, you will have to insert a line in the [RhevEvents] section for this category, as mentioned below:
    RHEVEventsTest:ImportExportEvents=1150,1151,1152,1153

  • Finally, save the file.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Info_count Indicates the total number of events that occurred on the RHEV manager since the last measurement period. Number  
Normal_count Indicates the number of general information events that occurred on the RHEV manager since the last measurement period. Number  
Err_count Indicates the number of error events that were captured on the RHEV manager since the last measurement period. Number Ideally, the value of this measure should be 0. A high value is a cause for concern. Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know what the errors are, so that you can troubleshoot the issues efficiently.
Warning_count Indicates the number of warning events that were captured on the RHEV manager since the last measurement period. Number Ideally, the value of this measure should be 0. A high value is a cause for concern. Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know what the warnings are, so that potential anomalies can be identified early and resolved quickly.
