Default Parameters for IISWebSitesTest

The IISWebSitesTest reports statistics pertaining to all the web sites running on an IIS web server. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the IISWebSitesTest. Note that, this test will not execute on the IIS Web servers v8 and above.

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

• In the WEBSITES text box, 'all' is displayed by default. This indicates that by default, this test reports statistics related to all the web sites on the IIS web server. To monitor a particular web site, provide that web site's name in this text box. Multiple web sites can be specified as a comma-separated list. While providing web site names, ensure that the specification exactly matches (even in case) the instance names of the performance object, 'Web Service'.

• Once the necessary value is 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. .
