Default Parameters for TermUserTest

Tracks every user connection from the Microsoft RDS client to the server, and monitors the resource utilization of every user on the Microsoft RDS server.

Note:

This test will report metrics only if the Microsoft RDS server being monitored uses the .Net framework v5.0 (or above).

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

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

  • In the USERNAMES text box, specify the name of the user whose performance statistics need to be generated. Multiple user names can be specified as a comma-separated list. all is used to indicate that all users of the terminal server are to be monitored.

  • By default, the REPORT BY DOMAIN NAME flag is set to Yes. This implies that by default, this test will report metrics for every domainname\username. This way, administrators will know which user logged in from which domain. If you want the test to report metrics for every username only, then set this flag to No.

  • By default, the ENABLE BROWSER MONITORING flag is set to No, indicating that the eG agent does not monitor browser activity on the Microsoft RDS server. If this flag is set to Yes, then, whenever one/more IE (Internet Explorer) browser instances on the RDS server are accessed, the detailed diagnosis of the User sessions measure will additionally reveal the URL being accessed via each IE instance and the resources consumed by every URL. Armed with this information, administrators can identify the web sites that are responsible for excessive resource usage by an IE instance.

  • Once the aforesaid 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.
