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.

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 host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• Specify the port at which the selected server listens in the PORT text box. By default, this is set to 80.

• 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.

• 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 for a particular server, 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 iagnosis measures should not be 0.

• 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.
