ShareFile Zones Test

To know the number, names, and types of storage zones that have been configured on ShareFile, administrators can use the ShareFile Zones test.

Target of the test : Citrix ShareFile

Agent deploying the test : A remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Citrix ShareFile account that is monitored

Configurable parameters for the test
  1. Test period - How often should the test be executed
  2. Host - The host for which the test is to be configured.
  3. port – The port at which the host listens. By default, this is NULL.
  4. email id – Provide the email ID of the Sharefile user with ‘Admin’ access to Sharefile. The credentials of this user are necessary for enabling this test to connect to the Sharefile REST API, running API commands, and pulling out metrics.  
  5. password – Specify the password associated with the configured email id. 
  6. CONFIRM PASSWORD – Confirm the password by retyping it here.
  7. ssl – Indicate whether/not Sharefile is SSL-enabled. By default, this flag is set to Yes.

  8. DETAILED DIAGNOSIS - To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

    The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

    • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability
    • Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.
