Default Parameters for CmvltJobHistryTest

This test auto-discovers each job state/status and for each job state, this test reports the total number of jobs. Using this test, administrators can figure out the job state with the maximum number of jobs. The detailed diagnosis of this measure helps in identifying the client whose jobs are failing frequently.

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

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

• By default, the eG agent executes CLI Commands on the target Commvault Backup server to collect the required metrics. For the eG agent to execute the CLI commands, a special user with monitoring privilege is required. Specify the credentials of such a user in the COMMVAULT ID and COMMVAULT PASSWORD text boxes.

• Confirm the password by retyping it here in the Confirm Password text box.

• By default, the CLI commands that need to be executed by the eG agent will be located within a folder called ‘Base’ within the install directory of the target Commvault Backup server. For the eG agent to execute the commands, specify the full path to the Base folder against the BASE INSTALLED LOCATION parameter. For example, the full path to the Base folder can be specified as: C:\\Program Files\\Commvault\\Contentstore\\Base.

• 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.
