Default Parameters for VDIBoxServerTest

For each server in the monitored grid, this test reports the current status of that server, the server configuration, the status of the virtual desktops on the server, and the disk space utilization on the server, so that:

  • Inactive servers in the grid can be quickly identified;
  • Servers experiencing a space crunch can be isolated;
  • The number of desktops in various states of usage/activity can be ascertained

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

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

  • In the VDI IN A BOX HOST text box, the IP address of the vdimanager being monitored has to be specified.

  • The test needs to log on to the VDI in-a-box appliance to pull out the metrics of interest. For this purpose, you need to configure the test with the credentials of a user with login rights to the appliance. By default, the appliance supports a root user named root (with the default password root) and a Read-only user named kvm (with the default password kaviza123). If you prefer not to expose the credentials of the root user, then you can configure the VDI IN A BOX USERNAME and VDI IN A BOX PASSWORD parameters with the credentials of the user kvm. Confirm the password of this user by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

    Note:

    The default password of user kvm is kaviza123. If this is changed, then make sure you configure the VDI IN A BOX PASSWORD parameter with the new password.

  • Specify the SSH port number of the vdimanager. By default, this is 22.

  • 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.
