Default Parameters for XDGroupTest

This test monitors the information regarding the desktop groups configured for this broker farm/site which is available in the XenDesktop Broker - 5.

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

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

• By default, the ISFARMSERVER flag is set to Yes, indicating that the monitored server is the farm server of a controller farm. For a farm server, this test will report metrics at the farm-level - accordingly, a set of metrics will be reported for each controller in the farm. On the other hand, if the monitored controller is only a member of a farm and not the farm server, then set this flag to No. In this case, the test will report metrics for the monitored controller only and not for every controller in the farm.

• By default, the MAINTENANCE MODE ENABLED DD flag is set to No. This implies that by default, detailed metrics will not be available for the Maintenance_desktops measure of this test. To enable detailed diagnosis for this measure, you can set this flag to Yes. In this case, you will be able to view the complete details of all desktops that are currently under maintenance in each desktop group managed by the broker.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the Update button will 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.
