Test Environment variables

Use these environment variables to control the behavior of the agent during testing.

Environment variables are dynamic named values that determine how the agent runs. For attribute group test, some agent environment variables are set to special values. The special values are used so that the agent responds in a way that suits the testing of a single attribute group. For full agent test special values are not used and instead the default values are used. The default values mean that the agent behaves as it normally would, which is more appropriate to full agent testing.

The environment variables that have special values for attribute group testing are summarized in the following table. For more information about all agent environment variables, see (Environment variables). For more information about setting environment variables, see (Environment variables).


Environment variables

Environment variable Default value (full agent test) Attribute group test value Reason for changed value for attribute group test
CDP_DP_INITIAL_COLLECTION_
DELAY
varies 1

This value applies to an agent with a thread pool. This value is the time in seconds that the thread pool waits before the initial data collection request is sent to a data provider.

If CDP_DP_INITIAL_COLLECTION_DELAY is not set, the thread pool waits for a time that is specified by CDP_DP_REFRESH_INTERVAL or CDP_ATTRIBUTE_GROUP_REFRESH_INTERVAL. This wait time is the same time the thread pool waits between data collections, and might be too long to wait for the first data collection.

CDP_DP_CACHE_TTL 60 1 When set to 1 a Collect Data request is much more likely to cause the data provider to collect data immediately. Otherwise it might return cached data that is up to 60 seconds old.
