Default Parameters for AppVolApplicaton_cf

This test reports the details about the application such as version, name of the publisher, creation date and AppStack related information.

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

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

  • By default, the eG agent uses the RESTful APIs to collect the metrics from the target VMware App Volumes Manager. To be able to connect to the RESTful API, the eG agent should be configured with the credentials of a user belonging to an active directory group that is vested with the Administrators (Read only) rights. Specify the credentials of such a user in the APPVOL USER text box. To know how to assign the Administrators (Read only) role to an active directory group, click here.

  • Specify the APPVOL PASSWORD password that corresponds to the APPVOL USER.

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

  • By default, in most virtualized environments, the VMware App Volumes Manager listens on port 3443 irrespective of being SSL-enabled or not. This implies that while monitoring the target VMware App Volumes Manager , the eG agent, by default, connects to port 3443 of the VMware App Volumes Manager to pull out metrics. Accordingly, the WEBPORT parameter is set to 3443. In some environments however, the default port 3443 might not apply. In such a case, against the WEBPORT parameter, you can specify the exact port at which the VMware App Volumes Manager in your environment listens so that the eG agent communicates with that port.

  • Set the SSL flag to Yes, if SSL (Secured Socket Layer) is to be used to connect to the target VMware App Volumes Manager, and No if it is not.

  • Once the above values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to 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.
