Default Parameters for SybSpinContnTest

This test auto-discovers the named spinlocks and reports the percentage of spinlock contention on the resources, CPU cycle spinning activity, and grabs and waits of each spinlock.

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

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

• To enable the eG agent to connect to the Sybase server and collect the required metrics, specify the credentials of a Sybase user who possesses the “mon_role” privilege, in the USER text box.

• The password corresponding to the above user has to be entered in the PASSWORD text box.

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

• 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.
