Default Parameters for ScrtyOsMdfctnChckcsTest

The ScrtyOsMdfctnChckcsTest test monitors the target host and reports the number of recently scheduled tasks. In addition, this test also reports the number of local user accounts created. This way, administrators can proactively identify any unusual scheduled tasks or suspicious accounts created and promptly take action before it leads to any security issues. The detailed diagnosis of this test provides details of the scheduled tasks such as task name, created time, and who created the task. Also, the detailed diagnosis helps administrators to know more about the user account created, like who created the account, created time, privileges, display, and SAM name, etc.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the ScrtyOsMdfctnChckcsTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• The DD FREQUENCY parameter refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD FREQUENCY parameter.

• 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.
