Default Parameters for SfStorageTest

This test auto-discovers the files and records that are occupying storage space and reports the collective space usage of each type of file and/or record. In the process, the test accurately pinpoints the precise file/record type that is storage space-hungry. In the event of a storage space crisis, this will point you to the precise files/objects that could be causing it. In addition, the test also reveals the rate at which the space usage of a file/object type is growing. This way, administrators can identify file/object types that constantly require more storage resources than the rest. These insights will help administrators prudently plan the future storage capacity of the target Salesforce organization, and take informed decisions on how storage should be allocated to the different categories. Moreover, the test does not stop with just revealing the guilty file/object types; it goes a step ahead and leads you to the exact users who may have caused the storage shortfall by consuming resources abnormally.

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

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

• This test needs to login to the target Salesforce organization as a user with Administrative rights, in order to run API commands on it and pull metrics. To facilitate this connection, specify the email ID of the Administrator of the Salesforce organization in the EMAIL text box.

• Specify the password of the Administrator in the PASSWORD text box.

• Confirm the administrator password by retyping in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will 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.
