Test Case ID
The test case is automatically assigned a Test Case ID number, although you can change this number, if desired. You can refer to this Test Case ID number when creating scoring overrides or looking at the Health Result Details Tab in the End-Systems tab.
Test Name
You can use this field to change or edit the test case name, if desired.
Process Name
The name of the process you are checking for.
Process State
Specify whether the process must be running or not running on the end-system.
Test Status
Use the Test Status drop-down list to specify a status for this test. The status determines how the score returned by the assessment test will be used.
  • Disabled - The test will not be run.
  • Informational - The test will be run and test score results will be reported, but are not applied towards a quarantine decision. No end-systems will be quarantined. Auto-remediation will be performed, if enabled.
  • Warning - Test score results are only used to provide end user assessment warnings via the Notification portal web page. No end-systems will be quarantined unless a grace period (if specified) has expired. Auto-remediation will be performed, if enabled.
  • Mandatory - Test score results will be included as part of the quarantine decision, and end-systems can be quarantined. Auto-remediation will be performed, if enabled.
The default scoring for agent-based tests is 0 for pass and 10 for fail. You can use scoring overrides if you wish to customize the default scoring.
Operating System(s)
Use the checkboxes in the drop-down list to select the operating systems that this test case will apply to. This list is automatically populated with all the operating systems on which this test can be performed.
Menu Button Use the configuration menu button to open the Manage Operating Systems window where you can add a new operating system for selection. For example, you may want to add a Windows operating system with a different service pack requirement. However, keep in mind that any changes you make will only be reflected in the drop-down selection list as long as they are supported by the test.
Auto-Remediate
If Auto-Remediate is selected, the agent will attempt to start or stop the process, depending on the selected Process State. For remediation to start the process, the .exe must be on the system path. When remediation stops the process, it will attempt to kill all instances of the process.
