eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by EgErrorLogTest

The eG manager, upon installation, automatically creates an error_log in the <EG_INSTALL_DIR>\manager\logs directory to which errors/warnings captured during installation, configuration and control (starting/stopping) of the eG manager, and during critical manager operations such as trending, thresholding, cleanup, and alerting are recorded. By periodically parsing this error_log and retrieving the details of error/warning events logged therein, you can understand which activities failed and why. This test helps you do just that.

The measures made by this test are as follows:
