Configuration of VmgCityTest

This test continuously monitors the CPU and memory resources taken up by a user's session on the virtual desktop for each city. The results of this test can be used in troubleshooting and proactive monitoring. For example, when a user from a particular city reports a performance problem, administrators can quickly check the bandwidth utilized by that particular city's user, the CPU/memory usage as well as the resource usage of user sessions established from other cities. The administrator also has access to details on the number of application processes launched by the users from each city and time taken for the same. This information can be used to spot a particular city from which the maximum number of application processes are launched on the virtual desktop.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

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

• In the HOST text box, the IP address of the host for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• Specify the port at which the specified HOST listens to in the PORT text box. By default, this is NULL.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

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

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
