Default Parameters for EgMgrCertUsageTest

This test monitors the usage of the types of server and user based licenses, and alerts administrators if the organization is fast running out of any license type. Based on these insights, administrators can determine which licenses are to be replenished quickly to ensure uninterrupted monitoring of the target environment. This test reports the total number of monitors allowed by the license type, number of basic and premium monitors utilized in the environment, number of servers, applications, services, segments and network devices monitored using the reported license type, the number of eG agents, etc.

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

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

  • JMX requires no authentication or security. By default, the USER, PASSWORD and CONFIRM PASSWORD are set to none.

  • A lookup name for connecting to the JMX connector is specified in the JNDINAME textbox. By default, this is jmxrmi.

  • This test uses a JMX Provider to access the MBean attributes of the eG manager and collect metrics. Specify the package name of this JMX Provider in the JMX PROVIDER text box. By default, this is set to com.sun.jmx.remote.protocol.

  • . If there is no response from the eG manager beyond the configured duration, the test will timeout.Specify the duration (in seconds) for which this test should wait for a response from the eG manager in the TIMEOUT text box. By default, this is set to 240 seconds.

  • The DD FREQUENCY refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD FREQUENCY.

  • 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.
