Default Parameters for ShareFileAUTest

This test reports how the ShareFile account being monitored uses its employee licenses, and thus proactively alerts administrators to a potential license shortfall. The storage space usage is also tracked, so that probable space crunches can be pre-emptively detected and mitigated. In addition, the test studies how the configured employee and client users use ShareFile and points to those users who frequently use Sharefile and those who seldom use this service.

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

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

• Provide the email ID of the Sharefile user with ‘Admin’ access to Sharefile in the EMAIL ID text box. The credentials of this user are necessary for connecting to the Sharefile REST API, running API commands, and pulling out metrics.

• Specify the password associated with the configured EMAIL ID in the PASSWORD text box.

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

• Indicate whether/not Sharefile is SSL-enabled. By default, the SSL flag is set to Yes.

• Set the REPORT BY EMPLOYEE flag to Yes if you want the test to report detailed diagnostics for the active_users and inactive_users measures. Turn off this flag, if you do not want detailed diagnostics for these measures.

• Set the REPORT BY CLIENT flag to Yes if you want the test to report detailed diagnostics for the active_client_users and inactive_client_users measures. Turn off this flag, if you do not want detailed diagnostics for these measures.

• Specify the number of days of inactivity beyond which a user will be counted as inactive or least active. For instance, if the number 30 is specified against DAYS, then this test will include all users who have not logged into ShareFile for the last 30 days (or more) in the Least active users count. Likewise, this test will count all users who logged into ShareFile at least once during the last 30 days as Most active users.

• 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.
