Qpid Consumers Test
A Consumer is created when an Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) connection wishes to receive messages from a message source (such as a Queue). When there are multiple competing consumers attached to the same message source, the Broker attempts to distribute messages from the queue in a "fair" manner. When there are multiple consumers having differing priorities, the Broker will always attempt to deliver a message to a higher priority consumer before attempting delivery to a lower priority consumer. When a consumer is created with no explicit priority provided, the consumer is given the highest possible priority. Using this test, the administrators can monitor whether/not the current state of the consumer is active ensuring that the consumers receive messages from the Queue without any distortion.
Target of the test : Apache Qpid Java Broker
Agent deploying the test : An internal/remote agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for the target Apache Qpid Java Broker.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
Test period |
How often should the test be executed. |
|
Host |
The IP address of the target server that is being monitored. |
|
Port |
The port number through which the Apache Qpid Java Broker communicates. The default port is 8080. |
|
Username |
By default, the eG agent executes REST APIs on the target component to collect the required metrics. For the eG agent to execute the REST APIs, a user with monitoring privilege is required. Specify the name of such a user in this text box. |
|
Password |
Specify the password corresponding to the user mentioned in the Username text box here. |
|
Confirm Password |
Confirm the password by retyping it here. |
|
SSL |
By default, the SSL flag is set to No, indicating that the target Apache Qpid Java Broker is not SSL-enabled by default. To enable the test to connect to an SSL-enabled Apache Qpid Java Broker, set the SSL flag to Yes. |
|
Timeout |
Specify the duration (in seconds) within which the query executed by this test should time out in this text box. |
