Default Parameters for KafkaBrTopicTest

This test helps the administrators to monitor the request from producers, consumers and broker followers to the brokers, ensuring that the target Apache Kafka Message System is communicating efficiently and resolve potential contentions, if any.

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

• 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 IP address of the IBM Cognos BI that is being monitored.

• The JMX REMOTE PORT parameter appears only if the Measurement Mode is set to jmx. Here, specify the port at which the jmx listens for requests from remote hosts.

• The USERNAME and PASSWORD parameters appear only if the Measurement Mode is set to jmx. If JMX requires authentication only (but no security), then ensure that the JMX User and JMX Password parameters are configured with the credentials of a user with read- write access to JMX.

• 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.
