Configuration of CompsrLogTest

This test scans the log file for errors and reports the number of errors logged in the log file. Detailed metrics provided by the test also provides detailed message descriptions and time stamps during which the errors were logged in the logfile so as to ease troubleshooting and hasten problem resolution.

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, specify the IP address of the host for which this test is to be configured.

  • In the PORT text box, specify the port at which the HOST listens. By default, this is NULL.

  • This test reports metrics by parsing a vmware-viewcomposer.log file that is by default created in the C:\ProgramData\VMware\View Composer\Logs folder on the target server. Since this test, by defaut, looks for the vmware-viewcomposer.log files in the aforesaid directory only, the log file path parameter is set to none by default. However, if you have configured these log files to be created in a different directory in your environment, then you will have to explicitly specify the full path to these log files in the log file path text box. For instance, your path specification can be: C:\LogFiles\CompsrLog

  • The DD FREQUENCY refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD FREQUENCY. 

  • To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise suite 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. 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.

  • If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

  • 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.
