Default Parameters for ShareFileFAFTest

This test tracks the growth in the number and size of files and folders (respectively) and sends out email/SMS alerts to users if unusual/disturbing growth patterns are noticed. In addition, detailed diagnostics provided by the test also points administrators to those folders that are used the least.

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

• 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 the period of inactivity beyond which a folder is counted as a Least used folder by this test. For instance, if the number 30 is specified against DAYS, then this test will include all folders that have not been accessed even once in the last 30 days (or more) in the Least used folders count. Similarly, all folders that have been used at least once in the last 30 days will be counted as Most used folders.

• 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.
