As Ari says, a good tensioner will "jiggle a little" an 1/8 inch or so. A bad one will randomly jerk more than an 1/8" and knock as it jerks. A sounding stick or tube will localize the knocking to the tensioner. The tensioner does not have to be short of oil to jerk around. Oil on the tensioner boot is an indication of a bad tensioner. A bad tensioner will stick causing the belt to slip and jump groves.
