This test provides in-depth details regarding the to and fro communication of the messages from the message agent in the BizTalk server.

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

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

• If the ISPASSIVE parameter is set to YES, then it means that, by default, all BizTalk servers being monitored by the eG system are the passive servers of a BizTalk cluster. No alerts will be generated if the servers are not running. Measures will be reported as "Not applicable" by the agent if the servers are not up.

• 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.
