Default Parameters for HrznPODPoolTest

This test monitors the status and usage of each desktop pool configured on the target VMware Horizon Cloud Pod.

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

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

  • By default, this test connects to every VMware Horizon Connection Server configured in the VMware Horizon Cloud Pod remotely and collects the required metrics. For this, it is necessary to specify valid credentials of the VMware Horizon Connection Servers. To help administrators provide these credentials quickly and easily, the eG administrative interface embeds a special configuration page. To access this page, simply click on the encircled ‘+’ icon that appears alongside the CONNECTION SERVER NAME in the test configuration page.

  • By default, the TOTAL SESSION DD flag is set to No, indicating that this test will not report detailed diagnostics for the Total Sessions measure. This means that the test, by default, will not capture and store the details of every session initiated on the desktops of each desktop pool, in the eG database. This default setting is ideal for desktops characterized by the initiation of thousands of sessions simultaneously, as it helps conserves space in the eG database and reduce the strain on the database. However, if your eG database is well-sized and you want to view the complete list of sessions initiated by the desktops in a desktop pool, enable the detailed diagnosis capability of the Total Sessions measure by setting this flag to Yes.

  • By default, the SHOW TOTAL DESKTOP DD flag is set to No, indicating that this test will not report detailed diagnostics for the Total Desktops registered measure. This means that the test, by default, will not capture and store the details of the total number of desktop registered in each desktop pool, in the eG database. This default setting is ideal for desktops characterized by the initiation of thousands of sessions simultaneously, as it helps conserves space in the eG database and reduce the strain on the database. However, if your eG database is well-sized and you want to view the complete list of sessions initiated by the desktops in a desktop pool, enable the detailed diagnosis capability of the Total Desktops registered measure by setting this flag to Yes.

  • By default, the DISCONNECTED DESKTOP DD flag is set to No, indicating that this test will not report detailed diagnostics for the Disconnected Desktop Sessions measure. This means that the test, by default, will not capture and store the the details of the desktop sessions that were disconnected in each desktop pool, in the eG database. This default setting is ideal for desktops characterized by the initiation of thousands of sessions simultaneously, as it helps conserves space in the eG database and reduce the strain on the database. However, if your eG database is well-sized and you want to view the complete list of desktop sessions that were disconnected in desktop pool, enable the detailed diagnosis capability of the Disconnected Desktop Sessions measure by setting this flag to Yes.

  • By default, the DISCONNECTED APPLICATION DD flag is set to No, indicating that this test will not report detailed diagnostics for the Disconnected Desktop Sessions measure. This means that the test, by default, will not capture and store details of the applications in each in each desktop pool that were disconnected from the View Client, in the eG database. This default setting is ideal for desktops characterized by the initiation of thousands of sessions simultaneously, as it helps conserves space in the eG database and reduce the strain on the database. However, if your eG database is well-sized and you want to view the complete list of applications that were disconnected in a desktop pool, enable the detailed diagnosis capability of the Disconnected Applications measure by setting this flag to Yes.

  • By default, the MAINTENANCE DESKTOP DD flag is set to No, indicating that this test will not report detailed diagnostics for the Maintenance desktops measure. This means that the test, by default, will not capture and store details of the desktops that were in the maintenance mode, in the eG database. This default setting is ideal for desktop pools that contained thousands of desktops in maintenance modesimultaneously, as it helps conserves space in the eG database and reduce the strain on the database. However, if your eG database is well-sized and you want to view the complete list of desktops that were in maintenance mode, enable the detailed diagnosis capability of the maintenance desktops measure by setting this flag to Yes.

  • 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 everytime 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.
