Configuration of Exc2013DBStatTest

This test auto-discovers the ESE databases on the Mailbox server, and for each database so discovered, reports the following:

• How effectively is the database using its cache?
• Is the cache sized right?
• How quickly is the database processing read/write requests to it?
• Are log files read and replayed rapidly?
• Are too many sessions to the database idle?

Using the insights provided by this test, administrators can accurately identify slow/overloaded databases, pinpoint why the database performance is bottlenecked, and clear the bottleneck well before users notice and complain.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

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

• Specify the host for which the test is to be configured in the HOST text box.

• Specify the port at which the specified HOST listens to in the PORT text box.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
