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
