Default Parameters for CitraTest

The CitraTest measures the availability and responsiveness of an emulated client component, that is monitored using a client emulator named CitraTest. eG integrates with the CitraTest tool, and reports the measures it collects via the eG monitor interface.

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

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

  • In the SCRIPTFILES text box, specify the full path to the script file that is to be played back for emulating a request to, and extracting metrics from the monitored application. Multiple script files can be provided as a comma-separated list, but all script files should monitor the same application only.

    • Note:

    If the script file resides on another host, then ensure that the location of the script file is mapped to any drive on the measurement host.

  • In the OUTPUTFILES text box, enter the full path to the output file that contains the metrics extracted by the specified script file. Here again, multiple output files can be provided as a comma-separated list, but only if multiple script files are also provided.

    • Note:

    • If None is specified here, then the eG system will collect statistics from the default output files associated with each of the specified script files. The default output files will be present in the same location as the respective script files, and will have the same name as the script files.

    • While specifying multiple output files, ensure that they are provided in the same order as their corresponding script files in the SCRIPTFILES text box.
    • If the SCRIPTFILES parameter consists of multiple entries and the OUTPUTFILES parameter consists of only one, then eG will automatically associate the first script file entry in the SCRIPTFILES box with the OUTPUTFILES entry. Measures pertaining to the other script files will therefore not be displayed in the eG monitor interface.

  • If the specified script emulates a request to a Citrix client, then specify yes in the ISCITRIX text box. If not, specify no.

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