eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by RegLogMonitorTest

eG agent compares each line (row) in the log file with the format file pattern (containing regular expression) for its exact match. As a result, if the specific line in the log file is matched with the format pattern, then those lines in the log file are considered to be matched lines. Each line in the log file has unique keys based on the Duplicate Detection Key Attributes parameter. If the unique keys are identical with next matched line, then that next matched log lines are considered to be duplicate lines. If the specific line in the log file is not matched with the format pattern, then those lines are considered to be discarded lines. This test helps the administrator to monitor how long the target Regex Log Monitor takes to identify the matched, duplicate and discarded lines by comparing the log file with the format pattern and determine the cause if the Regex matching process gets delayed.

Outputs of the test :One set of results for each Log File: Message type in the target Regex Log Monitor.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
matchedLines Indicates the number of matched lines identified by comparing the log file with the format pattern. Number  
discardedLines Indicates the number of discarded lines identified by comparing the log file with the format pattern. Number  
duplicateLines Indicates the number of duplicate lines identified by comparing the log file with the format pattern. Number Each line in the log file has unique keys based on the Duplicate Detection Key Attributes parameter. If the unique keys are identical with next matched line in the log file, then that next matched log lines are considered to be duplicate lines.
totalLines Indicates the number of total lines that includes matched, duplicate and discarded lines. Number  
PerofMatchedLines Indicates the rate at which the number of lines in the log file are matched with the format pattern. Lines/min  
PerofDuplicateLines Indicates the rate at which the number of lines in the log file are duplicated by comparing with the format pattern. Lines/min  
PerofMatchedLines Indicates the rate at which the number of lines in the log file are matched with the format pattern. Lines/min
