Agents Administration - Tests

Default Parameters for MySQLInstanceStTest This test monitors the target database instance and reports whether or not the instance is part of a cluster. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the MySQLInstanceStTest. The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. Specify the name of a database on the target MySQL database server being monitored in the DATABASE text box. The eG agent has to be configured with the credentials of a user who has server-wide Process and Select privileges on the monitored MySQL server in the USERNAME and PASSWORD text boxes. To know how to create such a user, refer to Click here. Confirm the PASSWORD by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box. Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made. When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz*” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
