Test Perfmon attribute groups

If you are running the Agent Builder on a Windows system, You can test the Perfmon attribute group that you created, within Agent Builder.


Procedure

  1. You can start the Testing procedure in the following ways:

    • During agent creation click Test on the Perfmon Information page (Figure 5).

    • After agent creation, select an attribute group on the Agent Editor Data Source Definition page and click Test. For more information about the Agent Editor, see (The Tivoli Monitoring Agent Editor).

    After you click Test in one of the previous two steps, the Perfmon Test window Figure 1 is displayed.

  2. Optional: Before you start testing, you can set environment variables and configuration properties. See (Attribute group testing).

  3. Click Start Agent. A window indicates that the Agent is starting.

  4. To simulate a request from Tivoli Enterprise Portal or SOAP for agent data, click Collect Data. The agent queries Performance Monitor for data. The Perfmon Test window collects and shows any data in the agent's cache since it was last started.

    You might not see useful data for all attributes until you click Collect Data a second time. The reason is that some Performance Monitor attributes return delta values, and a previous value is required to calculate a delta value.

  5. Optional: Click Check Results if the returned data is not as you expected. The Data Collection Status window opens and shows you more information about the data. The data that is collected and shown by the Data Collection Status window is described in (Performance Object Status node).

  6. Stop the agent by clicking Stop Agent.

  7. Click OK or Cancel to exit the Perfmon Test window. Clicking OK saves any changes that you made.
