Default Parameters for AppVolumeTest

This test instantly reveals the inaccessibility of the App Volumes Manager which helps administrators to quickly resolve the issue and restore the availability of the App Volumes Manager before the users complain. In the process, this test also reports whether/not all the Appstacks are attached to the RDS server. This way, the test informs administrators of non-attachment of Appstacks (if any). In addition, this test reports the number of Appstacks attached, the applications attached with the Appstacks and the time taken for attaching the Appstacks. By analyzing these measures, administrators can figure out if the Appstacks attachment took longer time than expected, and if it too long, initiate remedial measures to fix the same.

Note:

This test will report the measures only if the applications are provisioned to the target RDS server through VMware App Volumes Manager.

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

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

  • 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 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.
