Configuration of 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.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

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

• In the HOST text box, specify the host for which this test is to be configured.

• 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.

• To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, eG embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test, by default, for a particular server, choose the On option against DETAILED DIAGNOSIS. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

  The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

  • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability.

  • Both the bad and normal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

• 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.
