This test reports the number and names of registered desktops on a Server Node, thus indirectly pointing administrators to those desktops that are yet to be registered! In addition, the test indicates the current status of the desktops, so that administrators know which desktops are usable and which are not. Moreover, the test leads administrators to powered-on desktops that have no users logged in, thus revealing idle desktops that can be removed.

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

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

• Provide the credentials of a user possessing root user privileges in the QVD USER and QVD PASSWORD text boxes.

• Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• 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.
