This test is used to monitor the locking activity on the Sybase server, and reports the number of deadlocks. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the SybDeadLockTest.

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

• To enable this test to connect to the Sybase server and collect the required metrics, it is enough if you configure the test with the name of a Sybase user who has the “mon_role” credential in the USER text box. However, for best results, it is recommended that you configure all Sybase tests with the credentials of a Sybase user who has the “mon_role”, “sa_role”, and “sybase_ts_role”.

• The password corresponding to the above user has to be entered in the PASSWORD text box.

• Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box. 

• Typically, if the DETAILED DIAGNOSIS flag is set to On for this test, then periodically, eG Enterprise collects the complete details of all the information, error, warning, and user events generated on vCenter, and stores them in the database. This way, whenever a user clicks on the DIAGNOSIS icon (magnifying glass icon) corresponding to any of the measures reported by this test in the monitoring console, eG Enterprise retrieves the relevant detailed diagnosis information from the database and provides it to the user. In large virtualized environments however, the number of information events generated on the vCenter server will be quite huge. Naturally, the detailed diagnosis of such events will also occupy a considerable amount of database space, which will only grow with time. In order to minimize the strain on the eG database, you might want to turn off the detailed diagnosis capability for the information events alone. To achieve this, set the SHOW INFORMATION DD flag to No. By default, this flag is set to Yes, indicating that detailed diagnosis is available for information events by default.

• 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 - 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.
