The Edit Test dialog has many different views depending on the test. This is because the view will change depending on which Test has been selected as each test will require different user input. The second group of fields on the dialog marked by the ' Plugin ' surround border will change to reflect the input parameters needed by the test selected. The figure 4.8 above shows the fields for the HTTP retrieve Web page. This is a drop down list box which just requires the user to select the desired plugin test.
Page Enter the URL of the page to be measured.
Port Enter the port number for the HTTP server usually 80. Timeout Enter the number of seconds the test will wait before aborting the test. The user may select if the test is to be conducted against all the addresses or not. Once the dialog has been completed click the 'ok' button at the bottom to close and remove the dialog. The other configuration options remaining in section 4 cover more advanced subjects such as Database Space Allocation, Thresholds and Alarms etc.
