This test auto-discovers the Desktop Delivery Controllers configured within a site (i.e., a farm), and reports the current status of each controller and the count of desktops registered with every controller.

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

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

• By default, the ISFARMSERVER flag is set to Yes, indicating that the monitored server is the farm server of a controller farm. For a farm server, this test will report metrics at the farm-level - accordingly, a set of metrics will be reported for each controller in the farm. On the other hand, if the monitored controller is only a member of a farm and not the farm server, then set this flag to No. In this case, the test will report metrics for the monitored controller only and not for every controller in the farm.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the Update button will 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.
