Default Parameters for ProUserIOTest

This test auto-discovers the users on the target Progress database server and periodically reports the read-write activity of each user. Using this test, administrators can easily identify which user is performing resource intensive I/O operations. This way, this test reveals the irregularities in the I/O operations performed by the users and further analyze the real reason behind the abnormally high I/O operations performed by the user.

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

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

• Specify the name of the Progress database instance that is to be monitored in the DATABASE NAME text box.

• In order to monitor a Progress database instance, a special database user account has to be created in every Progress database instance that requires monitoring. This special user needs to be granted a set of privileges. To know how to create the database user and grant the required privileges, refer to click here. Specify the name of such a user in the USERNAME text box.

• Enter the password of the specified USERNAME 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.
