This test monitors the availability and response time of the Content Server from an external perspective.

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

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

• To monitor the Content Server, the eG agent should connect to the server using the credentials of a user with rights to access the IR-EXPLAIN-1 database. Provide the name of such a user in the USER text box.

• Specify the password of the specified USER in the PASSWORD text box.

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

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.
