Configuration of VDIBoxDesktopTest

This test auto-discovers all users who are currently logged into desktops and reports on the state of each user's session, so that problems (if any) with desktop sessions can be isolated and fixed.

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.

• The port number to which the server is listening is to be provided in the PORT text box. By default, this is NULL.

• 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.

• 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 normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

• 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.
