Progress User I/O Test

This test auto-discovers the users on the target Progress database server and periodically reports the read-write activity of each user. Using this test, administrators can easily identify which user is performing resource intensive I/O operations. This way, this test reveals the irregularities in the I/O operations performed by the users and further analyze the real reason behind the abnormally high I/O operations performed by the user.

Target of the test : A Progress Database server

Agent deploying the test : An internal agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for every user on the target Progress database server being monitored

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test Period	How often should the test be executed
Host	The IP address of the Progress database server.
Port	The port number on which the database server is listening. By default, this is NULL.
Database Name	Specify the name of the Progress database instance that is to be monitored.
