Progress OEAS Agents Test

An agent on Progress OpenEdge server is a process that handles client requests and executes business logic. An agent can run as a thread in a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in a Progress Application Server (PAS) for OpenEdge. Using this test, administrators can figure out the total number of agents that had executed the ABL procedures.

Target of the test: Progress OpenEdge Server

Agent deploying the test: An internal/remote agent

Outputs of the test: One set of results for Progress OpenEdge Server that is being monitored.

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The IP address of the target host to be monitored.
Port	The port at which the server listens to. The default is 8810.
Username, Password and Confirm Password	By default, the eG agent uses REST API to connect to the target Progress OpenEdge Application server and collect the required metrics. For this, the eG agent should be configured with the credentials of a user with operator role. Specify the login credentials of such a user in the User and Password text boxes and confirm the Password by retyping it in the Confirm Password text box.
Server	Specify the name of the specific server instance to be monitored for a Progress OpenEdge Application server.
Server Port	Specify the server port on the application server that listens for HTTP/HTTPS requests for REST API services. By default, this is port 8810.
SSL	If the Progress OpenEdge Application server being monitored is an SSL-enabled server, then set the SSL flag to Yes. This flag is set to No by default.
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.

Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Number of agents	Indicates the total number of agents.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists all the agent IDs along with the session ID, session state, thread ID, connection ID, and session memory.
