Default Parameters for TermAppTest

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

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

  • By default, all is displayed here, which will auto-discover and monitor all the applications that are running from the Terminal server client. You can also specify 'none' or 'auto', which will also auto-discover all the applications. To monitor specific applications, in the PROCESS text box, enter a comma separated list of processName:processPattern pairs which identify the applications published on the server being considered. processName is a string that will be used for display purposes only. processPattern is an expression of the form - *expr* or expr or *expr or expr* or *expr1*expr2*... or expr1*expr2, etc. A leading '*' signifies any number of leading characters, while a trailing '*' signifies any number of trailing characters. The pattern(s) used vary from one application to another and must be configured per application. For example, if a Microsoft Word application has been published on the Terminal server, then the PROCESS to be specified is: Word:*winword*, where Word is the string to be displayed in the monitor interface, and *winword* is the application’s executable. Other special characters such as slashes (\) can also be used while defining the process pattern. For example, if a server’s root directory is /home/egurkha/apache and the server executable named httpd exists in the bin directory, then, the process pattern is “*/home/egurkha/apache/bin/httpd*”.

  • To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG system embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test, by default, for a particular server-type, choose the On option against DETAILED DIAGNOSIS. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

    The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

    • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability

    • Both the bad and normal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

  • Once the necessary values have been provided, click on the UPDATE button to register the changes made.
