Test Objects

The test objects listed below are shipped with the Netra Proxy Cache product. Their output is displayed in the Host Status page that you invoke from the Array Status page.

cache_connect_test

An object of type ConnectTest (5). Tests the TCP port used by the proxy cache service (8080). Also tests the service address(es) and control address used by the proxy cache service. The test object instance is configured to test persistent TCP connections. The parameters for this test object are as follows:

---

ConnectTest cache_connect_test
port=8080
check_addr=0.0.0.0
interval=10
retries=3
retry_interval=2
reset_min_interval=60
monitor_object=cache_monitor
max_connect=99999999
check_control=true
persistent_connection=true
connection_test_object=cache_http_test

---

cache_process_test

An object of type ProcessTest (5). Tests for the presence of the process associated with the proxy cache service. The parameters for this test object are as follows:

---

ProcessTest cache_process_test
process_id_script="/etc/init.d/scalr.cache getpid"
interval=2
retries=3
retry_interval=2
reset_min_interval=60

---

cache_test

An object of type AndTest (5). Combines the outputs from cache_connect_test, cache_process_test, and service_interface_test. Reports failure to the monitor object (cache_monitor) if any of these "child" test objects returns failure. The parameters for this test object are as follows:

---

AndTest cache_test
test_objects=cache_connect_test,cache_process_test
reset_script="/etc/init.d/scalr.cache restart"
reset_min_interval=60
monitor_object=cache_monitor

---

control_interface_test

An object of type PingTest (5). Tests the integrity of the control interface. The parameters for this test object are as follows:

---

PingTest control_interface_test
ping_addr=192.168.89.255
min_replies=1
exclude_same_host=true
interval=600
ping_timeout=5
retries=3
retry_interval=2

---

dns_connect_test

An object of type ConnectTest (5). Tests the TCP port used by the array DNS (53). Also tests the service address(es) and control address used by the DNS. The parameters for this test object are as follows:

---

ConnectTest dns_connect_test
port=53
check_addr=0.0.0.0
interval=10
retries=3
retry_interval=2
reset_min_interval=60
monitor_object=dns_monitor
max_connect=99999999
check_control=true
persistent_connection=false

---

dns_process_test

An object of type ProcessTest (5). Tests for the presence of the process associated with the array DNS. The parameters for this test object are as follows:

---

ProcessTest dns_process_test
process_id_script="/opt/SUNWscalr/scripts/dns.getpid"
interval=2
retries=3
retry_interval=2
reset_min_interval=60

---

dns_test

An object of type AndTest (5). Combines the outputs from dns_connect_test, dns_udp_test, dns_process_test, and service_interface_test. Reports failure to the monitor object (dns_monitor) if any of these "child" test objects returns failure. The parameters for this test object are as follows:

---

AndTest dns_test
test_objects=dns_connect_test,dns_process_test,dns_udp_test
reset_script="/opt/SUNWscalr/scripts/dns.reset"
reset_min_interval=30
monitor_object=dns_monitor

---

dns_udp_test

An object of type DNSTest (5). Tests the ability of the array DNS to resolve the name of a domain. By default the name localhost is used. The parameters for this test object are as follows:

---

DNSTest dns_udp_test
domain_name=localhost
port=53
check_addr=0.0.0.0
interval=10
timeout=5
retries=3
retry_interval=2
reset_min_interval=60
monitor_object=dns_monitor
max_check=99999999
check_control=true

---

service_interface_test

An object of type PingTest (5). Tests the integrity of the service interface used by a monitor object. The parameters for this test object are as follows:

---

PingTest service_interface_test
ping_addr=129.144.91.255
min_replies=1
exclude_same_host=true
interval=60
