Logical Node Detail Test

Alliance Messaging Hub (AMH) is a modular, financial messaging solution for corporate networks. It allows extensive throughput and sophisticated data management through the use of latest technology to manage messages and files. To better utilize the physical node resources, a number of virtual or logical nodes are created on the physical node.

This test monitors the logical nodes and reports key metrics like status, number of services running, service quality etc. These statistics provide great insights into the health of logical nodes and ensure that administrators take corrective action before the node fails.

Target of the test : A Swift AMH Cluster instance

Agent deploying the test : A remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each logical node in the cluster being monitored.

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Port	The port at which the specified host listens.
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.

Measures made by the test

Measurement

Description

Measurement Unit

Interpretation

Is Active

Indicates whether/not the logical node is active.

The numeric values that correspond to these measure values are as follows:

Measure Value	Numeric Value
Yes	10
No	0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the Is Active. In the graph of this measure however, the same is indicated using the numeric equivalents only.

Logical node state

Indicates the current status of this logical node.

The numeric values that correspond to these measure values are as follows:

Measure Value	Numeric Value
Running	10
Stopped	0
Shutdown	-1

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the Logical node state. In the graph of this measure however, the same is indicated using the numeric equivalents only.

Is running on assigned physical node?

Indicates if the logical node is running on assigned physical node only.

The numeric values that correspond to these measure values are as follows:

Measure Value	Numeric Value
Yes	10
No	0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the Is running on assigned physical node?. In the graph of this measure however, the same is indicated using the numeric equivalents only.

Auto switch enabled?

Indicates if the auto switch is enabled or not on the current logical node.

The numeric values that correspond to these measure values are as follows:

Measure Value	Numeric Value
Yes	10
No	0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the Auto switch enabled?. In the graph of this measure however, the same is indicated using the numeric equivalents only.

Running services

Indicates the number of services running on the given logical node.

Number

The number of running services should be equal to total number of services.

Degraded services

Indicates the number of services which are in degraded state.

Number

If the service quality has degraded it needs to be taken care of.

Stopped Services

Indicates the number of services which are in stopped state.

Number

Any stopped services should be brought back for node to be able to perform its functions efficiently.
