Default Parameters for CtxXcXAAppLayerTest

This test tracks the App Layering process for each user and alerts administrators if any user is experiencing undue slowness during App Layering. This way, administrators are prompted to rapidly initiate remedial measures, so that the bottleneck can be resolved before it seriously impacts a user's productivity and experience. This test also monitors a log file i.e. c:\ProgramData\Unidesk\Logs\ulayersvc.log file created during App Layering process and reports the count of the warning messages and errors occurred. This way, administrators are alerted to the errors and warnings encountered during the App Layering process.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the CtxXcXAAppLayerTest test.

  • The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

  • By default, this flag REPORT BY DOMAIN NAME is set to Yes. This implies that by default, the detailed diagnosis of this test will display the domainname\username of each user who logged into the Citrix server. This way, administrators will be able to quickly determine which user logged in from which domain. If you want the detailed diagnosis to display the username alone, then set this flag REPORT BY DOMAIN NAME to No.

  • By default, REPORT BY CLIENT NAME flag is set to No. If set to Yes, this test will report metrics for each client machine from which users logged into the XenApp server - i.e., the host name of the client machines will be the descriptors of this test. In this case therefore, the User name column of the detailed diagnosis of this test will indicate the names of the users who logged into the XenApp server.

  • The DD FREQUENCY parameter refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD FREQUENCY .

  • Once the above values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz*” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
