Configuration of 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.

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 for which the test is to be configured has to be specified. By default, this is portal.office.com

• 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.

• 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 servers, 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.
