Default Parameters for NutClusSharesTest

This test auto-discovers the file shares on the file servers and reports the type of each file share. Using this test, administrators can easily isolate those file shares on which self-service restore and Access Based Enumeration capabilities are not enabled. Administrators are also alerted to those file shares that are running out of space.

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

  • To connect to the Nutanix Prism Element and collect metrics from it, the eG agent should be configured with the credentials of a Prism Element user with the Viewer role in the NUTANIX PRISM ELEMENT USER and NUTANIX PRISM ELEMENT PASSWORD text boxes and confirm the nutanix Prism Element password by retyping it in CONFIRM PASSWORD text box. The steps for creating such a user are detailed in the Pre-requisites for Monitoring Nutanix Prism Element topic.

  • By default, the Nutanix Prism Element server is SSL-enabled. Accordingly, the SSL flag is set to Yes by default. This indicates that the eG agent will communicate with the Prism Element server via HTTPS by default.

  • By default, the Nutanix Prism Element server listens on port 9440. This implies that while monitoring a Nutanix AHV server via the Prism server, the eG agent connects to port 9440.

  • 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.
