Default Parameters for NfsDirTest

The NfsDirTest reports statistics relating to NFS file systems remotely mounted by a client. This test auto discovers the remote file systems on a client and periodically accesses the file systems to check their availability and access times.

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

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

• By default, this test monitors all the directories mounted remotely. Accordingly, the parameter EXCLUDE DIRECTORY is set to none by default. However, if you want to exclude specific directories from monitoring, then, against this parameter, specify the names of the ‘local’ directories that are mapped to the remote NFS shares to be excluded, as a comma-separated list. For instance, if the remote NFS share named 172.16.8.56:/nfsshare1 is mapped to the local directory /nfsmnt1, then you have to specify /nfsmnt1 against the EXCLUDE DIRECTORY parameter. If required, you can also provide a comma-separated list of local directory patterns. For instance, to exclude local directories /nfsmnt1, /nfsmnt2, /nfsmnt3 from monitoring, your EXCLUDE DIRECTORY specification can be: */nfsmnt*.
