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 Engine states in which to run the test.
  • Online — When selected, the test is run when the Engine Engine node is online.
  • Offline — When selected, the test is run when the Engine Engine node is offline.
  • Standby — (Clusters only) When selected, the test is run when the Engine Engine node is in the Standby state.
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.
Partition Specify the partition to test.
Free Space Enter the minimum amount of free space in kilobytes. When the amount of free space drops below this amount, the Engine executes the chosen action.
Failure section
Action Select the action taken if a test fails.
  • None — No action is taken.
  • Offline — (Clusters only) The Engine node goes offline, unless it is the last active node in a cluster or the node is in the Locked Online state.
  • Force Offline — The Engine node goes offline, even if it is the last node active node in a cluster or the node is in the Locked Online state. Use in cases in which a complete cut in traffic is a better option than a partially working Engine.
  • Force Speed (Inline Pair Link Speed test only) — If the test finds that the pair of inline ports has different speed/duplex settings, the speed/duplex on the higher speed/full duplex link is set to match the lower speed/half duplex setting on the other port. Correct and reliable operation requires identical settings.
Send Alert When selected, sends an alert to notify administrators that a test has failed.
Send SNMP Trap When selected, sends an SNMP Trap.
