Default Parameters for WinSystemTest

The WinSystemTest reports additional metrics pertaining to Microsoft Windows systems. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the WinSystemTest.

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

• The PROCESS LIMIT determines what type of processes are to be included in the detailed diagnosis of the Processes count measure of this test. By default, 5 is the PROCESS LIMIT. This implies that the detailed diagnosis of the Processes count measure will by default list only those processes for which more than 5 instances are currently running on the target host. Processes with less than 5 currently active instances will not be displayed in the detailed diagnosis. This limit can be changed.

• If you want to exclude one/more processes from the detailed diagnosis of the Processes count measure, then specify a comma-separated list of processes to be excluded in the EXCLUDE PROCESS text box. By default, the svchost process is excluded from the detailed diagnosis of this test.

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

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with "$" indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed (e.g., if the URL is "http://$hostName:$port", for a specific web server running on the host www.abc.com on port 80, the URL parameter will be set to "http://www.abc.com:80").
