Default Parameters for SaaSTcpCnctvtyTest

This is an external test that emulates a TCP connection to the Microsoft Yammer and reports the count of connections that were successful and the count of connections that failed. In addition, this test also throws light on how responsive the Microsoft Yammer is to TCP connection requests. In the process, the test reveals any break or slowness in the network connection to the Microsoft Yammer service.

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

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

• By default, www.yammer.com:443 will be specified against the URLs parameter. However, you can provide a comma-separated list of sites to be monitored.The format of your specification should be as follows: <Site_URL>:<:Port>. For example, your specification can be:

  www.yammer.com:443,portal.office.com:443

  Note that the <Site_URL> specifications will be the descriptors of this test.

• Specify the number of packets to be transmitted during the test in the PACKETS TO BE SENT text box.

• Once the above value is 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.
