Default Parameters for ShareFileDevTest

This test keeps tabs on the devices that are active on the ShareFile account at any given point in time, and thus points to the current device load on ShareFile. Moreover, the test reveals the number and names of devices that have been locked, wiped, or waiting to be wiped, so that administrators can accurately identify those devices (if any) for which such restrictions can be revoked and those on which they need to be maintained.

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

• 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.

• In the DAYS text box, specify how frequently a device should have accessed ShareFile for it to be counted as an Active/Connected device. For instance, if the number 30 is specified against DAYS, then this test will include all devices that have accessed ShareFile at least once in the last 30 days (or more) in the act_dev_cnt count.

• 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.
