Default Parameters for XDVDDisconnectTest

This test reports the total number of disconnected sessions to the desktops managed by a XenDesktop broker farm, and also sheds light on sessions that reconnected quickly after being disconnected.

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

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

• The RECONNECT DURATION parameter is used by this test while computing the value for the Quick reconnects by users measure. This measure counts all the users who reconnected to the virtual desktops within the short period of time (in minutes) specified against RECONNECT DURATION.

• 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.

• The DDFREQ refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated. 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. The DDFREQ refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated. 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. Typically, detailed diagnosis frequencies are set globally, using the DIAGNOSIS CONFIGURATION page that appears when the Configure -> Diagnosis menu sequence is followed. This global setting can be overridden at the test-level using the DDFREQ parameter. To disable the detailed diagnosis capability for a test, you can set this parameter to none.

• 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.
