The ThroughputTest aims to monitor and detect situations when the throughput for data transfer to and from a server drops below acceptable levels. The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

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

• In the TARGETHOST box, the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified. 

• In the UPLOADSIZE box, define the size of data transferred by the agent to the management console to perform this test. 

• In the DOWNLOADSIZE box, define the amount of data downloaded by the agent from the management console during the course of this test. 

• Specify the eG management console URL that the agent connects to in order to perform this test in the URL text box. 

• In the TIMEOUT text box, specify the amount of time in seconds that this test can run for. Beyond this period, the test terminates with a failure. 

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
