Default Parameters for XMAppLaunchTest

This test auto-discovers the users who are currently logged into the XenMobile, and for each user, reports the number of successful and failed application launches per user. This way, the test points to those users with the maximum number of failed application launches. Such users naturally are the ones with a poor quality experience with the XenMobile.

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

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

  • This test reports metrics by parsing a Syslog file. Specify the full path to the Syslog file in the LOG FILE PATH field. To know how to configure the Syslog server where the XenMobile will be creating this file, the Monitoring Citrix XenMobile document.

  • By default, the Syslog file may contain information relating to a number of servers that are inter linked with the target XenMobile. In order to obtain the metrics of the target XenMobile alone, specify the hostname or the IP address of the target XenMobile server for which the logs are to be read from the syslog file, in the SEARCH STRING text box. Using this search string the information in the Syslog file may be parsed and metrics may be collected.

  • Here, specify the cursor position after which the eG agent should search for the specified SEARCH STRING (or the position upto which the eG agent should ignore while searching for the specified SEARCH STRING) in the syslog file. For example, if the specified search string appears in the syslog file at the 17th position, then you may need to specify the SEARCH STRING INDEX as 16.

  • 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.

  • Once the above values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to 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.
