Default Parameters for CtxXcXDZoneTest

When a Delivery Controller in a zone (primary/satellite) fails, another one in the same zone will take over. But how does an administrator determine that a failover has occurred in a primary zone? By executing this test at regular intervals, administrators can be promptly alerted if a controller in primary zone fails over to another controller in the same zone. Additionally, this test also scans each zone configured in a site and reports the number of controllers, delivery groups, and machine catalogs in that zone.

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

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

• In order to monitor the Delivery Controller 7, eG requires a special user with the following privileges;

  • The All scope and read-only privileges

  • The Allow log on locally security privilege on the Delivery Controller host

  To know the steps for assigning such privileges to a user, click here. Specify the name of such a user, in the USERNAME text box.

• Specify the password for the user specified in the USERNAME text box, in the PASSWORD text box.

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

• In the DOMAIN text box, specify the domain to which the user specified in the USERNAME text box belongs to.

• 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.
