The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

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

• In the HOST text box, the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• In the PATH text box, specify the path to the core dump files to be monitored. The path needs to be mentioned in the following format: FormatName:FileName@FilePath. FormatName is the unique name assigned to the path-format being specified. This user-defined name appears alongside the test name in the monitor interface. FileName refers to the name of the core dump file to be monitored. FilePath refers to the path to the specified core dump file. For eg., the PATH can be specified as follows: CoreDump1:Cdump@ /usr/dump.

Here:

CoreDump1 is the unique name assigned to the format being specified

Cdump is the name of the core dump file to be monitored

/usr/dump is the directory in which Cdump resides.

Now, in the above example, if all the core dump files with the string “core” in the file name are to be monitored, then the format would be: 

 

CoreDump1:*core*@/usr/dump

 

While providing multiple path-formats, ensure that each format is separated by a comma.

• If the RECURSIVE flag is set to Yes, then eG will search even the sub-directories within the specified directory for the log file to be monitored. If this flag is set to No, then eG will search only the specified directory.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary value have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
