Configuration of LtmApplicationTest

For each application accessed by the end users, this test reports the time taken by the applications that are load balanced by the target traffic manager to respond to requests, reports the average load time of the application etc. Using this test, administrators can easily identify the applications that were impacting the user experience with the web applications load balanced by the traffic manager.

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 IP address of the traffic manager has to be specified.

• In the PORT text box, enter the port number at which the traffic manager being monitored listens. By default, this is NULL.

• 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 values 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.
