Steps
External Test Properties dialog box
Use this dialog box to run a custom script that has been uploaded to the Secure SD-WAN Engine.
Option | Definition |
---|---|
Name | The name of the test. If you want to run more than one instance of the same test type with different parameters, give each test a unique name. |
Node
(Clusters only) |
Select whether to run the test on ALL nodes or only on a specific node. |
States to Test | Select one or more Secure SD-WAN Engine states in which to run the test.
|
Test Interval | Specify how frequently the test is run. The minimum interval is one second and the maximum is 86400 (one day). We recommend a minimum interval of four seconds. Running a test too frequently can increase overhead. |
Retry Count | Enter the number of times the tester tries to execute the test. We recommend always setting the retry count to more than 1 to avoid creating overly sensitive tests that burden the system unnecessarily. |
Test Timeout | Enter the timeout in milliseconds. If the test being run does not return a response in the specified time, the test has failed. Avoid overly short timeout values. We recommend a timeout of 500–1000 ms, depending on the test. |
Command Line | Enter the command or script path. The result must return an exit code of 0 (zero) if it succeeds. Any non-zero return value is a
failure. CAUTION: This test allows administrators who have permissions to edit the properties of Secure SD-WAN Engines to run
arbitrary commands in the Secure SD-WAN Engine operating system.
