Measures reported by VmgCrashEventTest
Event logs on Windows VMs capture critical error conditions such as service crashes and application crashes on the VMs, application and service hangs, and service errors. Since the crash/slowness experienced by any mission-critical program/service on a Windows VM may affect the uptime of the dependent business services, administrators should be able to instantly capture these serious problem conditions, investigate the reasons for their occurrence, and promptly resolve them. This is exactly what the VmgCrashEventTest test helps administrators achieve!
This test periodically scans the event logs on each Windows VM and reports the count of crashes, hangs, and errors that may have occurred recently on that VM. Detailed diagnostics provided by this test pinpoints the applications/services that crashed, hanged, or encountered errors, and thus enables quick and efficient troubleshooting.
Note:
This test will not report metrics on VMs running Windows 2000/2003/XP.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| Crashed_appevt_count |
Indicates the number of application crash events that occurred on this VM during the last measurement period. |
Number |
An event with the ID 1000 is logged in the event log every time a program terminates unexpectedly on a virtual desktop. This measure reports the number of events in the event log with event ID 1000.
Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know which programs and modules stopped suddenly. |
| Crashed_sysevt_count |
Indicates the number of service crash events that occurred on this VM during the last measurement period. |
Number |
An event with the ID 7031 is logged in the Service Control Manager every time a service terminates ungracefully. This measure reports the number of events in the event log with event ID 7031.
