The Probe action condition definition file is used to set the IE Probe Daemon's start options and the Probe Daemon's start options. It is read when the IE Probe Daemon starts and the Probe Daemon starts.
To apply the definitions specified in the Probe action condition definition file, you must restart PFM - Agent for Service Response.

This subsection describes the definitions. You can omit any unneeded optional key name (or optional section).
Table 7-3 Definition in the General section
Key name | Mandatory | Value to be specified |
---|---|---|
Mode | Y# | Always ESP. When the probe is used, this item takes effect. |
number_of_probes ((1 to 100))<<10>> | -- | Specifies the maximum number of measurement conditions for a probe. When the probe is used, this item takes effect. |
max_reportfile_size ((1 to 32))(MB)<<4>> | -- | Specifies the maximum size of a report file. When the probe is used, this item takes effect. |
ie_number_of_probes ((1 to 20))<<5>> | -- | Specifies the maximum number of measurement conditions for an IE probe. When the IE probe is used, this item takes effect. |
ie_max_reportfile_size ((1 to 32))( MB)<<1>> or, ((128K to 32768K))(KB) | -- | Specifies the maximum size of an IE report file. When the IE probe is used, this item takes effect. |
ie_service_flag ((Y or N))<<N>> | -- | Specifies whether you use Windows services to start and stop the IE probe. If you use, specify Y. If you do not use, specify N. If you manually start and stop the IE probe from the Windows start menu, specify N. If you operate PFM - Agent for Service Response in a cluster system, specify Y. If you do not use IE scenarios in a cluster environment, specify N. |
disable_ssl_protocol ((NONE or TLSV11))<<NONE>> | -- | Specifies which of the SSL protocols used for communication between a probe and Web server will be disabled for monitoring of HTTPS (including monitoring of Web transactions that use HTTPS). PFM - Agent for Service Response supports the following SSL protocols:
|
html_script_skip_flag ((Y or N))<<N>> | -- | Specifies whether the contents of script tags will be ignored when embedded resources are searched during monitoring of HTTP, HTTPS, or Web transactions. Specify Y to ignore the contents of script tags during a search. Specify No to search for the contents of script tags. Specifying Y might be able to prevent the KAVK08261-E message from being output to a log during HTTP or HTTPS measurement or the KAVK08261-E and KAVK08311-W messages from being output to a log during Web transaction measurement. |
Table 7-4 Definition in the System Log section
Key name | Mandatory | Value to be specified |
---|---|---|
printlog_flag ((Y or N))<<N>> | -- | Specifies whether or not the Probe Daemon's event log and the IE Probe Daemon's event log are to be output. To output the event log, specify Y; otherwise, specify N. |
Table 7-5 Definition in the Cluster section
Key name | Mandatory | Value to be specified |
---|---|---|
cluster_flag ((Y or N))<<N>> | -- | Specifies Y to use PFM - Agent for Service Response in a cluster environment; otherwise, specifies N. |
shared_directory ((up to 255 bytes)) | --# | When PFM - Agent for Service Response is to be used in a cluster environment, this item specifies the name of the directory on the shared disk to which report files are to be output. If you specify Y in cluster_flag, you must specify this item. If you specify N in cluster_flag, this item is ignored, if specified. Do not enclose the value in double quotation marks (") even when the specified path contains a space. |
Table 7-6 Definition in the WEBTRANS Probe section
Key name | Mandatory | Value to be specified |
---|---|---|
max_keep_alive_session ((1 to 20))<<10>> | -- | When the keep alive mode is used for Web transaction measurement, this item specifies the maximum number of sessions that can be kept alive. This becomes the maximum number of sessions per Web transaction measurement. |
skip_emb_rsc_error ((Y or N))<<Y>> | -- | Specifies whether or not measurement is to continue when acquisition of an embedded resource results in an error during Web transaction measurement. To continue measurement, specify Y; otherwise, specify N. |
post_redirect_method ((GET or POST))<<GET>> | -- | Specifies the method to be used for redirecting a POST request during Web transaction measurement. To use a GET method, specify GET; to use a POST method, specify POST. Normally, do not change this value. |
Table 7-7 Definition in the FTP Probe section
Key name | Mandatory | Value to be specified |
---|---|---|
ignore_quit_resp_recv_error ((Y or N))<<N>> | -- | Specifies whether or not monitoring is to continue when a reception error occurs in the response message from the FTP server for a logout request (entry of the QUIT command) during FTP measurement. To continue measurement, specify Y; otherwise, specify N. When FTP monitoring is performed in an environment where a Windows firewall is used, specify Y in this item. |
Table 7-8 Definition in the IE Probe section
Key name | Mandatory | Mandatory |
---|---|---|
html_log_flag ((Y or N))<<Y>> | -- | Specifies whether the Web pages acquired while measuring IE scenarios are output to the HTML files. Specify Y to check the contents of the HTML files when detecting problems during measurements. The output files when replaying an IE scenario are stored in a folder. The character code of the output file is UTF-8. The following shows the output destination of the HTML files and their names:
|
max_number_of_html_log ((1 to 500))<<20>> | -- | Specifies the maximum case number of storing the HTML files acquired while measuring IE scenarios. Counts all the HTML files acquired when measuring an IE scenario as 1 case. The IE probe stores the HTML files the max_number_of_html_log times for each measurement condition. If the store case number exceeds the max_number_of_html_log, the files of the oldest case are deleted. If you specify N as the value of html_log_flag, the value you specified is ignored. |
ie_probe_browser_mode#3 ((IE7, IE8, IE9, or IE10)) | -- | Specifies the Internet Explorer version for using the IE probe. Before specifying this item, check the Internet Explorer version supported by the monitoring target and the version of Internet Explorer installed in an environment in which PFM - Agent for Service Response is installed. Internet Explorer 7 is the default version.
