Default Parameters for AzrTrfcMngrTest

This test auto-discovers each tenant databases on the SAP HANA database server and reports whether/not the tenant database is active. The detailed diagnosis of this test shed light on the details of the inactive tenant database.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the AzrTrfcMngrTest 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 host for which the test is to be configured.

  • Specify the GUID which uniquely identifies the Microsoft Azure Subscription to be monitored in the SUBSCRIPTION ID text box.To know the ID that maps to the target subscription, click here.

  • Specify the Directory ID of the Azure AD tenant to which the target subscription belongs in the TENANT ID text box. To know how to determine the Directory ID/Tenant ID, click here.

  • The eG agent communicates with the target Microsoft Load Balancers using Java API calls. To collect the required metrics, the eG agent requires an Access token in the form of an Application ID and the client secret value. Specify the Application ID of the created Application in the CLIENT ID TEXTBOX To know how to determine the Application ID, click here. Specify the client secret value in the CLIENT PASSWORD text box. To obtain the client secret value, click here.

  • In some environments, all communication with the Azure cloud be routed through a proxy server. In such environments, you should make sure that the eG agent connects to the cloud via the proxy server and collects metrics. To enable metrics collection via a proxy, specify the IP address of the proxy server and the port at which the server listens against the PROXY HOST and PROXY PORT parameters. By default, these parameters are set to none , indicating that the eG agent is not configured to communicate via a proxy, by default.

  • If the proxy server requires authentication, then, specify a valid proxy user name and password in the PROXY USERNAME and PROXY PASSWORD parameters, respectively. Then, confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

  • A resource group is a container that holds related resources for an Azure solution. The resource group can include all the resources for the solution, or only those resources that you want to manage as a group. Specify the name of the particular Resource Group which is a part of the Load Balancer to be managed in the RESOURCE GROUP text box.

  • You can create a Traffic Manager profile in a Resource group by using the Azure portal. After creating your profile, you can configure endpoints, monitoring, and other settings in the Azure portal. Traffic Manager supports up to 200 endpoints per profile. However, most usage scenarios require only a few of endpoints. Specify the name of the respective profile in the TRAFFIC MANAGER PROFILE text box.

    • 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.
