Default Parameters for HrznBrokerTest

Using the HrznBrokerTest test, administrators can periodically check the availability and responsiveness of every Horizon Connection Server with which the target gateway appliance interacts, accurately isolate the unavailable brokers, and thus figure out if the broker unavailability has contributed to the inaccessibility issues that users are experiencing.

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

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

• The eG agent connects to the the HTTP/S URL of a connection server, and reports the availability and responsiveness of that server. To establish this connection and report metrics, the eG agent requires read-only permissions. Therefore, configure the credentials of a read-only user in the USERNAME and PASSWORD textboxes. Confirm the PASSWORD by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• By default, the SSL flag is set to Yes, as the target application is SSL-enabled. In case the appliance is not SSL-enabled, then set this flag to No.

• Once the above values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to 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.
