This test checks all aspects of replication and replay and reports on the health of each aspect. It is designed for the proactive monitoring of continuous replication and the continuous replication pipeline, the availability of Active Manager, and the health and status of the underlying cluster service, quorum, and network components.

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

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

• The Exchange Management Shell is a command-line management interface, built on Windows PowerShell v2, which enables you to administer every part of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007/2010. This test uses the Exchange management shell to run scripts and collect the desired performance metrics from the Exchange server. To enable the test to load the Exchange management shell snap-in (exshell.psc1) for script execution, you need to specify the full path to the Exchange management shell in the XCHGEXTENSIONSHELLPATH text box. For instance, your specification can be, c:\progra~1\micros~1\exchan~1\v14\bin\exshell.psc1.

• The TRANSIENTEVENTSUPPRESSIONWINDOW parameter specifies the number of minutes that the queue lengths can be exceeded before the queue length tests are considered to have failed. This parameter is used to reduce the number of failures due to transient load generation. By default, this parameter is set to 3 minutes.

• 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.
