Measures reported by CtxXcXDDAdminTest

The Delegated Administration Service (DAS) stores information about Citrix administrators and the rights they have. Services in the XenDesktop deployment use the DAS to determine whether a particular user has the privilege to perform an operation or not.

This test periodically monitors the connectivity between the service and the database, and the health of transactions performed by the service on the database, so that you can receive real-time updates on the following:

  • The sudden unavailability of connection to the database;
  • Failure of transactions to the database;
  • Delays in the completion of transactions on the database

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
DB_avg_trans_time Indicates the average time taken by the broker to execute a database transaction from the Citrix Delegated Administration Service. Secs Ideally, the value of this measure should be low. A high value indicates that the broker service is taking too much time to execute transactions on the database; this can cause significant delays in connection brokering.
DB_connected Indicates whether the database is connected or not. Number A value of 1 indicates that the database is connected and a value of 0 indicates that the database is not connected to the Citrix Delegated Administration Service.

If the database is unavailable, the broker service may not be able to perform critical database transactions; this may adversely impact the user experience with the service and with the broker as a whole.

DB_trans_err Indicates the rate at which the database transactions are failing while the Citrix Delegated Administration Service is executing the transactions. Errors/sec A low value is desired for this measure.
DB_trans Indicates the rate at which the database transactions are executed by the Citrix Delegated Administration Service. Trans/Sec
