The iPlanet messaging server instance message store contains a database (Berkley DB) that stores information about the mailboxes on the server, and stores quota information about the mailboxes. The IMSDbLogFileTest monitors the log files of the message store database. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the the IMSDbLogFileTest.

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

• In the MBOXCONFIGUREPATH text box, specify the the complete path to the "mboxlist" directory of the current instance of the messaging server. By default, this directory will be located within the "store" directory of the "messaging server instance directory". For example, the MBOXCONFIGUREPATH in Windows environments can be: C :\iPlanet\Server5\msg-egtest\store\mboxlist, and in Unix environments, it can be: /usr/iplanet/server5/msg-sun08/store/mboxlist.

• Once the necessary values have been entered, 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.

Note:

While installing the eG agent on an iPlanet messaging server in an Unix environment, ensure that the eG user (specified during agent installation) is the same as the iPlanet messaging server user (created at the time of the server installation).
