Default Parameters for MSSQLISPipeTest

This test monitors the data extracted from sources, modified using transformations, and uploaded to destinations. The buffer memory used during these processes is measured, and administrators proactively alerted to unusually high memory usage. With the help of these metrics, administrators can figure out how the data flow configuration can be fine-tuned, so that buffer memory consumption is kept at a minimum. The test also reveals if the engine is processing resource-intensive BLOBs or too many rows of data, thereby enabling administrators to focus on other factors that can impact processing time.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the MSSQLISPipeTest test.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• The eG agent runs queries on the Microsoft SQL server on which the SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) are installed to pull the desired metrics. To enable the eG agent to run these queries, you need to configure the test with the SSIS VERSION that is in use in your environment. To know how to determine the SSIS version, refer to Monitoring Microsoft SQL Integration Server document. Once the version number is ascertained, make sure you specify the exact number in the SSIS VERSION text box.

• Once the above values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz*” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
