Measures reported by VTListenerTest

The listener component runs on the VMware Horizon View RDS server and is responsible for listening for and accepting new client connections. If this listener component is down, users may not be able to access applications on the RDS hosts!

This is why, if a user complains of the inaccessibility of an application, administrators should first check whether the RDS listener component is up and running or not. The VTListenerTest test helps administrators perform this check. This test tracks the status of the default listener ports and reports whether any of the ports is down.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Status Indicates whether/not this listener port is down.   This measure reports the value Yes if the listener port is down and No if the port is up and running. The numeric values that correspond to these measure values are as follows:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Yes 0
No 1

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values to indicate the status of a listener port. However, the graph of this measure will represent the same using the numeric equivalents only.
