Default Parameters for AspDotNetClrTest

This test auto-discovers the worker processes running in the ASP .NET server, and for every process, reports the following:

• The count of CLR exceptions that were thrown by that worker process;

• The heap memory usage of the worker process; in the event of excessive usage, you can also take a look at the garbage collection-related statistics reported by this test for that worker process to determine whether/not ineffective GC is causing heap memory usage to soar.

• The count of classes loaded and class loading failures;

• The rate of thread contentions in the worker process;

• The count of waiting threads;

• The time spent in performing runtime Code Access Security (CAS) checks;

• The count of runtime checks performed.

These metrics provide useful pointers to the source of performance degradations experienced by applications.

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

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

• 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.
