Default Parameters for CBLogTest

The Connection Broker maintains a record of all activities it performs in log files. The logs show the different stages of user connection - e.g., when a user signs in, is offered and assigned a desktop, logs out, etc. Using the logs, administrators can:

  • Diagnose problems with your policy logic related to power and assignment controls, by looking at logs related to powering up and down desktops, and releasing desktops back to the pool.
  • Monitor the system load, such as the number of logins over a period of time.
  • Monitor user access.
  • The CCBLogTest monitors the logs and alerts administrators to error/warning events that are captured by the logs. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the CBLogTest.

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

    • By default, SSL flag is set to No, indicating that by default, the test connects to the Connection Broker via HTTP. If the Connection Broker is SSL-enabled, then set this flag to Yes.

    • To enable the test to log into the Connection Broker and extract statistics of interest from it, specify the login name of a user in the USER textbox on the Connection Broker who is assigned the Administrator role. If need be, you can even create a special Administrator user on the Connection Broker for this purpose, and pass the credentials of that user to the test.

    • Specify the password of the USER in the PASSWORD textbox.

    • Confirm the PASSWORD by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD .

    • 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.

    • In the TIMEOUT textbox specify the duration (in seconds) within which the test should timeout. The default duration is 30 seconds.

    • Once the necessary value has been been 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.
