System PulseMeter Tests

Tests Basics

All system and network monitoring is performed with the help of tests. For each test you can set it's own schedule and actions.

To add a new test click the corresponding button in the main menu. The "New Test" dialog will be displayed. The dialog contains all available test grouped by test types. Each type has a short description displayed in the "Description" field. Select the test type and click "OK" to continue. The "Test properties" dialog will be displayed.

To create identical tests for several different hosts use "Duplicating Tests".

Test Types

System PulseMeter performs various tests, including:

1. CPU Usage Test - Checks the CPU usage at the selected hot. Passes if the CPU usage is lower than value specified in the specific test properties.
2. Device Status - checks devices performance on remote hosts and fails if selected devices are not functioning.
3. Drive Free Space - Checks the free space available on a certain drive.
4. ICMP(ping) - Use ICMP test for checking if a certain host is reachable across the local network or Internet.
5. File Integrity - Monitor file checksum (CRC64) and files integrity with the help of "File Integrity" test.
6. File/Folder Size - Checks the size of a certain file or folder.
7. Firebird Database Connection Test - Firebird Database Connection Test attempts to connect to Firebird Database using certain database name and user credentials. Test passes if connection was successful, fails otherwise.
8. HTTP Request Test - Sends request to HTTP server and checks response. Passes if response code is in certain set of values fails otherwise.
9. MSSQL Database Connection Test - Test connects to MSSQL Database Server using certain database name and user credentials. Test passes if connection was successful, fails otherwise.
10. MySQL Database Connection Test - Attempts to connect to MySQL Database Server using certain database name and user credentials. Test passes if connection was successful, fails otherwise.
11. Network Traffic Monitor - Monitors incoming and outgoing traffic on a certain interface or on all available interfaces.
12. Oracle Database Connection Test - Attempts to connect to Oracle Database Server using certain database name (TNS Alias) and user credentials. Test passes if connection was successful, fails otherwise.
13. POP3 Server Test - Attempts to connect to POP3 Server using certain server name, port and user credentials. Test passes if connection was successful, fails otherwise. Additional conditions like message count and mailbox size can be added.
14. Process Memory - Checks the memory amount used by a certain process.
15. SNMP Get Test - Reads value of a certain OID and compares with a user-defined value. Test passes if comparison condition is met, fails otherwise.
16. TCP Connection Test - Attempts to connect to a remote host on a certain port. Test passes if connection established successfully fails otherwise. Additional TCP reply-related test conditions can be specified.
17. Windows Service - Checks the current state of a selected Windows Service.
18. WMI - Use WMI tests for checking various data and operations based on Windows Management Instrumentation.
19. Windows Update - Tests if Windows Update is turned on and/or if there are important updates, that haven't been installed yet.

Test Properties

Test properties include "Basics", "Dependencies" and "Specific Test Properties".

Test options can be set in the "Test Properties" dialog.
