Default Parameters for CtxALImageTest

The Images - AL test monitors the layered images managed by the Citrix App Layering Manager, reports whether each image is publishable or not and also reveals the size of each image on the disk. This way, the test promptly alerts you to potential publishing failures and amount of space occupied by each image on the virtual disk. In addition, this test also reveals the total number of layers attached to each image and the number of App Layer attached to each image. Using these measures, administrators can identify the image that is.

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

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

• In the HOST text box, specify the IP address of the host for which this test is to be configured.

• By default, this test needs to be configured with credentials of a user with Read-only permissions to the target appliance to pull out the required metrics. Specify the login credentials of such a user in the USERNAME and PASSWORD text boxes.

• Confirm the PASSWORD by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• In the DOMAIN text box, specify the name of the domain to which the specified user belongs to. For instance, eginnovations\mpriya.

• In the SSL flag, indicate whether/not the Citrix App Layering Manager is SSL-enabled. By default, this flag is set 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.
