Disk Usage Test
This test monitors the space usage of every disk partition on the ADC device.
Target of the test : An ADC VPX/MPX
Agent deploying the test : A remote agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for each disk partition supported by the ADC device.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
Test Period |
How often should the test be executed. |
|
Host |
The IP address of the host for which the test is being configured. |
|
NetScaler Username and NetScaler Password |
To monitor a ADC device, the eG agent should be configured with the credentials of a user with read-only privileges to the target ADC device. Specify the credentials of such a user in the NetScaler Username and NetScaler Password text boxes. |
|
Confirm Password |
Confirm the ADC Password by retyping it here. |
|
SSL |
The eG agent collects performance metrics by invoking NITRO (ADC Interface Through Restful interfaces and Objects) APIs on the target ADC device. Typically, the NITRO APIs can be invoked through the HTTP or the HTTPS mode. By default, the eG agent invokes the NITRO APIs using the HTTPS mode. This is why, the SSL flag is set to Yes by default. If the target ADC device is not SSL-enabled, then the NITRO APIs can be accessed through the HTTP mode only. In this case, set the SSL flag to No. |
| Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Total capacity |
Indicates the total capacity of this disk partition. |
MB |
|
|
Used space |
Indicates the amount of space in this disk partition that is currently in use. |
MB |
Ideally, this value should be low. |
|
Free space |
Indicates the amount of space in this disk partition that is currently unused/free. |
MB |
Ideally, this value should be high. |
|
Percent usage |
Indicates the percentage of space usage on this disk partition. |
Percent |
A value close to 100% may indicate a potential problem situation where applications executing on this ADC device may not be able to write data to the disk partition(s) with very high usage. |
