Test Period |
This indicates how often should the test be executed. |
Host |
The IP address of the Informix Dynamic server. |
Port |
The port number at which the specified host listens to. |

DBLocale |
Specify the language/locale in which your database is installed. This will allow you to return the query in the language supported by your database. By default this attribute is set to “none”, which means that by default, queries are returned in the English locale. |
ClientLocale |
Specify the language/locale in which the eG agent is running. Normally, when you use an internal agent to monitor Informix, the ClientLocale and DBLocale will be same. However, the ClientLocale may differ when you are monitoring the Informix tests using a remote agent (agentless monitoring). By default, the ClientLocale is set to “none”, indicating that the eG agent runs in the English locale, by default. |
