The IMSMtaTest will report statistics related to the message traffic in channels. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the the IMSMtaTest.

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

• The VERSION parameter refers to the version number of the SunONE messaging server that is being monitored. By default, none will be displayed as the VERSION. If you are monitoring a SunONE messaging server that is of a version below 6.0, you need not change the default value of this parameter. However, while monitoring version 6.0 or above, the exact version number needs to be explicitly mentioned against this parameter.

• If you are monitoring a SunONE messaging server that is of a version below 6.0, then, in the INSTANCEDIRECTORY text box, specify the full path to the directory that corresponds to the current messaging server instance. For example, in Windows environments, the path can be expressed as: C:\iPlanet\Server5\msg-egtest. In Unix platforms, the path can be specified in the following format: /usr/iplanet/server5/msg-sun08. On the other hand, if you are monitoring version 6.0 or above of a SunONE messaging server, then ensure that the SunONE messaging server's root directory is specified as the INSTANCEDIRECTORY.

• 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).
