Default Parameters for EgDBPartitionTest

This test monitors the eG backend database and reports if the database partitioning feature is supported on the database. If this database partitioning feature is supported, this test additionally reports the count of tables that were partitioned and were not partitioned. Further, the detailed diagnostics lists the tables that were partitioned and were not partitioned.

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

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

  • In the HOST text box, specify the IP address of the target server that is being monitored.

  • In the JMX REMOTE PORT text box, specify the port at which the JMX listens for requests from remote hosts. In the \manager directory (on Windows; on Unix, this will be the /opt/egurkha/manager directory) of the eG manager, you will find a management.properties file. Set the port defined against the com.sun.management.jmxremote.port parameter of the file as the JMX Remote Port.

  • By default, JMX requires no authentication or security. Therefore, the JMX USER, JMX PASSWORD , and CONFIRM PASSWORD parameters are set to none by default.

  • The JNDINAME is a lookup name for connecting to the JMX connector. By default, this is jmxrmi. If you have registered the JMX connector in the RMI registry using a different lookup name, then you can change this default value to reflect the same.

  • This test uses a JMX PROVIDER to access the MBean attributes of the eG manager and collect metrics. Specify the package name of this JMX Provider in the given text box. By default, this is set to com.sun.jmx.remote.protocol.

  • In the TIMEOUT text box, specify the duration (in seconds) for which this test should wait for a response from the eG manager. If there is no response from the eG manager beyond the configured duration, the test will timeout. By default, this is set to 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.
