Default Parameters for HAProxyTest

This test monitors each proxy service associated with the target Proxy server and for each proxy service, reports the status, session utilization, session related statistics such as current sessions, maximum sessions, errors that were detected etc. Using this test, administrators can easily figure out processing bottlenecks and rectify the same before the users complain of slow responsiveness of the proxy server.

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

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

• Specify the user name of the proxy server in the HA PROXY USERNAME text box.

• Enter the password of the proxy server in the HA PROXY PASSWORD text box.

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

• Specify the port used by the HA Proxy server in the HA PROXY PORT text box.

• By default, the HA Proxy server is SSL-enabled. Accordingly, the SSL flag is set to Yes by default. This indicates that the eG agent will communicate with the HA Proxy server via HTTPS by default.

• Specify the time duration (in seconds) beyond which this test should time out in the HA PROXY TIMEOUT text box. The default is 240 seconds.

• 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.
