Agents Administration - Tests
 

Adding a VMware Horizon Connection Server

In order to enable the eG agent to connect to the VMware Horizon Connection Servers in the target VMware Horizon Cloud Pod and pull out metrics, the eG administrative interface provides a special page using which multiple VMware Horizon Connection Servers and their respective domain and the users authorized to log into the connection servers can be specified.

To access this page, click the encircled ‘+’ icon against the CONNECTION SERVER NAME parameter in the test configuration page. The CONFIGURATION OF CONNECTION SERVERS page then appears using which the credentials of the VMware Horizon Connection Servers are to be configured for monitoring. In this page, specify the following:

  • First, provide the name of the VMware Horizon Connection Server against the CONNECTION SERVER NAME text box.

  • Then, provide the DOMAIN NAME to which the VMware Horizon Connection Server belongs to. If the connection server does not belong to any domain, specify none here.

  • The eG agent must be configured with user privileges that will allow the agent to communicate with the VMware Horizon Connection Server in a particular domain and extract statistics. If none is specified against DOMAIN NAME, then, specify the name of the user who is authorized to access the VMware Horizon Connection Server against the USER NAME. On the other hand, if a valid DOMAIN NAME has been specified, then a domain administrator account can be provided in the USER NAME text box.

  • The password corresponding to the user specified against the USER NAME should be mentioned in the PASSWORD text box.

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

  • To add more VMware Horizon Connection Servers for monitoring, click the Add More button.

  • To clear all the user specifications, simply click the Clear button.

  • To remove the details of a particular VMware Horizon Connection Server alone, just click the encircled ‘-’ button.

  • To save the specification, just click the Update button. This will lead you back to the test configuration page, where you will find the multiple domain names, usernames, and passwords listed against the respective fields.
