Default Parameters for CtxXcXDAppTest

This test points administrators to applications that are currently enabled on the site and those applications that are not visible to the users. In addition, this test reports the number of instances of an application that is currently running and the CPU priority level of each application, so that administrators can accurately isolate popular applications and their CPU priority level.

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

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

  • In order to monitor the Delivery Controller 7, eG requires a special user with the following privileges;

    • The All scope and read-only privileges

    • The Allow log on locally security privilege on the Delivery Controller host

    To know the steps for assigning such privileges to a user, click here are discussed. Specify the name of such a user, in the USERNAME text box.

  • Specify the password for the user specified in the USERNAME text box, in the PASSWORD text box.

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

  • In the DOMAIN text box, specify the domain to which the user specified in the USERNAME text box belongs to.

  • By default, the SHOW SITE WIDE INFORMATION flag is set to Yes, indicating that the monitored server is the site server of a broker site. For a server which is a site, this test will report metrics at the site-level - accordingly, a set of metrics will be reported for each delivery group managed by every broker in the site. On the other hand, if the monitored broker is only a member of a site and not the site server, then set this flag to No. In this case, the test will not report any metrics.

  • The DD FREQUENCY refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD FREQUENCY.

  • 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.
