Option Definition
Name You can give the test a more descriptive name. If you want to run more than one instance of the same test type with different parameters, give each test a unique name.
Node

(Clusters only)

Select whether to run the test on ALL nodes or only on a specific node.
States to Test Select one or more engine states in which to run the test:
  • Online — Test is run when the node is online.
  • Offline — Test is run when the node is offline.
  • Standby (Clusters only) — Test is run when the node is in the Standby state.
Test Interval Specifies how often the test is run. The minimum interval is one second and the maximum is 86400 (one day).
Note: We recommend a minimum interval of four seconds. Running a test too frequently can increase overhead.
Partition Specify the partition in the Partition field.
Free Space Enter the minimum amount of Free Space in kilobytes.

When the amount of free space drops below this amount, the engine executes the chosen action.

Failure
Action Select the action taken if a test fails:
  • None — The state is not changed.
  • Offline (Clusters only) — The test switches the node offline. However, the tester does not turn offline the last active node in a cluster or nodes in the Locked Online state.

Force Offline — The node is forced to an offline state, even if it is the last node online in a cluster or if it is in the Locked Online state. Use in cases in which a complete cut in traffic is a better option than a partially working Firewall.

Send Alert Select to send an alert to notify administrators that a test has failed.
