How to use

General Page

The General page includes several key parameters:

• Update Interval: Determines how often table checks are performed. The default interval is 30 minutes.
• Execute Checks Now: Allows you to trigger an immediate check instead of waiting for the update interval.
• Table Checker Last Update: Displays the timestamp of the most recent table check.
• Check Results: Provides details on the checked entries, including the element and protocol name, table and column ID, whether the entry was found, and the number of instances found. These entries are configured in the Configuration of Checks table on the Configuration page.

Configuration Page

The Configuration page allows you to define and manage the table checks by specifying key parameters for each test.

The Configuration of Checks table contains the following information:

• Test Name: The name of the check.
• Protocol Name: The protocol name that is used as a filter. Only the elements using this protocol will be checked.
• Optional Element Name Regex Filter: A regular expression filter to refine the element name search.
• Table PID: The unique identifier for the table being checked.
• Column ID: The specific column within the table being checked.
• Text to Search On: The text pattern used to find matches within the column.

The Update Result Table button refreshes the results based on the defined checks.
