SWS Processes Test

How often should the test be executed.

The host for which the test is to be configured.

The port number at which the specified Host listens to.

Specify the name of the administrator of the administration server to which the target web server is registered.

The eG agent connects to the administration server to which the target web server is registered to extract the required metrics. To enable the eG agent to communicate with this administration server, you first need to create a password file containing the administrator password for accessing the server; this password file should be created in the install directory of the web server. Specify the name of this file in the PasswdFile text box; by default, this is admin.passwd.

Specify the IP address of the administration server to which the target web server is registered.

Indicate the port at which the administration server listens.

In Web Server 7.0, all configurable elements of a server instance like web applications, configuration files, and search collection indexes are logically grouped and termed as a Configuration. To enable the test to locate the web server instance to be monitored, you need to mention the Configuration that applies to the instance. In the Config text box therefore, specify the name of the Configuration which the target web server instance uses.

Node is a network resource, such as a server or a host. Instance refers to the environment of a web server daemon on a given node, including its configuration, log files and other runtime artifacts such as lock databases, caches and temporary files. To enable the test to identify the exact web server instance to be monitored, you need to specify the name of the Node on which the instance executes. The test will thus monitor only that web server instance that operates on the given Node and which uses the specified Config.

Set this flag to Yes if the administration server is SSL-enabled; if not, set it to No.
