This test gives details on what the switch is doing and the flows of sends / receives it handles.

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

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

• In order to execute the DCDIAG command, the eG agent has to be configured with a domain administrator's privileges. Therefore, specify the domain name and login credentials of the domain administrator in the DOMAIN, USERNAME and PASSWORD text boxes. Confirm the PASSWORD you provide by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• In some environments, when the DCDIAG command is executed on the domain controllers, if the FORWARDER test failed due to the Forwarder not configured in the tartget environment or if the Forwarder is not working properly, then, this test may not report metrics. In such cases, set the USE DNSBASIC flag to Yes. By default, this flag is set to No.

• Once the necessary values have been entered, 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.
