Computer Asset Test

Computer assets refer to the individual hardware components, such as CPU sockets, cores, memory modules, disks, NICs, and GPUs, that collectively define a system’s computing capacity and workload support capabilities. If the number of these assets is insufficient, misconfigured, or underperforming, it can lead to system performance degradation, application failures, or a poor user experience. Monitoring the count of these assets helps ensure that systems are adequately provisioned and aligned with expected workloads. It also plays a critical role in capacity planning by highlighting gaps in current resource availability. This test monitors and reports the number of CPU sockets, processor cores, logical processors, memory, disks, NICs, and video controllers available on the system. Additionally, it indicates whether the system is a virtual or physical machine. With this insight, administrators can proactively detect under-resourced systems and take corrective action before performance is impacted.

Target of the test : Any host system

Agent deploying the test : An internal agent

Outputs of the test :One set of results for the host 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.
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 reported by the test:

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Is this a virtual machine?	Indicates whether the system is a virtual machine or not.		The values that this measure can report and its corresponding numeric equivalents are listed in the table below: Measure Value Numeric Value No 0 Yes 1 Note: By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate whether this system is a virtual machine. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents only. Use the detailed diagnosis to find out the system informations such as System Manufacturer, System Model, Chassis Description, RAM(GB), Virtual Machine Type, etc.
Total memory	Indicates the total amount of memory on the system.	GB
Sockets	Indicates the number of physical CPU sockets on the system.	Number
Cores	Indicates the number of CPU cores across all sockets.	Number
Logical processors	Indicates the number of logical processors available on the system.	Number
Video controllers	Indicates the number of GPU controllers in the system.	Number
Disks	Indicates the number of physical disks attached to the system.	Number
NICs	Indicates the number of network interface cards present in the system.	Number
