eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by EgCleanupLogTest

To conserve space in the eG backend, administrators can schedule the automatic cleanup of tables from the eG database at specified intervals. Administrators can closely track the status of the automatic cleanup process by enabling logging for that process using the Log settings node under the MANAGER SETTINGS tree (Settings -> Manager -> Log settings menu sequence) in the eG administrative interface. This will result in the creation of the cleanup_log file (in the <EG_ INSTALL_DIR>\manager\logs directory), to which the status and errors pertaining to cleanup related activities will be logged as and when they occur.

This test monitors the cleanup_log for errors and provides administrators with the complete details of these errors. Using these details administrators can initiate troubleshooting and isolate bottlenecks that had occurred during the cleanup process.

Outputs of the test: One set of results for critical eG manager function.
