Default Parameters for VTUserTest

This test tracks every user connection from the VMware View client to the VMware Horizon View RDS server, and monitors the resource utilization of every user on the RDS server.

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

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

  • Specify the name of the user whose performance statistics need to be generated in the USERNAMES text box. Multiple user names can be specified as a comma-separated list. all is used to indicate that all users of the VMware Horizon View RDS server are to be monitored.

  • By default, the REPORT BY DOMAIN NAME flag is set to Yes. This implies that by default, the detailed diagnosis of this test will display the domainname\username of each user who accessed an application on the server. This way, administrators will be able to quickly determine which user logged into the server from which domain. If you want the detailed diagnosis to display only the username of these users, set this flag to No.

  • By default, the ENABLE BROWSER MONITORING flag is set to No, indicating that the eG agent does not monitor browser activity on the VMware Horizon View RDS server. If this flag is set to Yes, then, whenever one/more IE (Internet Explorer) browser instances on the RDS server are accessed, the detailed diagnosis of the User sessions measure will additionally reveal the URL being accessed via each IE instance and the resources consumed by every URL. Armed with this information, administrators can identify the web sites that are responsible for excessive resource usage by an IE instance.

  • 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.
