This test sheds light on the usage of the connection pool by the eG manager, and indicates whether/not the connection pool has been rightly sized.

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

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

• Specify the port at which the JMX listens for requests from remote hosts in the JMX REMOTE PORT text box. In the <EG_MANAGER_INSTALL_DIR>\manager directory (on Windows; on Unix, this will be the /opt/egurkha/manager directory) of the eG manager, you will find a management.properties file. Set the port defined against the com.sun.management.jmxremote.port parameter of the file as the JMX REMOTE PORT.

• By default, JMX requires no authentication or security. Therefore, the USER, PASSWORD, and CONFIRM PASSWORD parameters are set to none by default.

• The JNDINAME is a lookup name for connecting to the JMX connector. By default, this is jmxrmi. If you have resgistered the JMX connector in the RMI registery using a different lookup name, then you can change this default value to reflect the same in the JNDINAME text box.

• Once the necessary values have been entered, 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.
