Configuration of Apps2xTest

This test reports statistics pertaining to the different applications deployed on the 2X Terminal Server and their usage by its clients.

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.

  • In the APPS text box, Specify all option if you want to monitor all the applications that are executing on this server. To monitor only those applications that have been published on this server for use by clients, specify Published in this text box.

  • While monitoring 2X servers of v10.0 (and higher), this test will automatically discover the full path to the install directory of the server. This is why, this parameter is set to none by default. However, while monitoring older versions of the 2X server (i.e., versions prior to v10.0), you will have to explicitly specify the full path to the install directory of the 2X server in the QUERY2XPATH text box.
  • 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 diagnosis 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.
