Default Parameters for UserEnvironTest

The UserEnvironTest periodically checks the userenv log file to monitor the user login and profile loading process. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the UserEnvironTest.

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

  • By default, the REPORT TOTAL flag is set to No. In this case therefore, the test will only report metrics for every user to the XenApp server. If this flag is set to Yes, then the test will report metrics for a Total descriptor – the metrics reported by this descriptor will be aggregated across all users to the XenApp server. This way, XenApp administrators will receive a system-wide overview of the health of the profile loading/unloading process.

  • By default, the REPORT FOR EACH USER flag is set to Yes. This implies that, by default, the test will report metrics for each user to the XenApp server. If you set this flag to No, then make sure that the REPORT SYSTEM WIDE flag is set to ‘Yes’. Because, if both the REPORT FOR EACH USER and the REPORT SYSTEM WIDE flags are set to No, then the test will not run! On the other hand, if only the REPORT SYSTEM WIDE flag is set to Yes, the test will only report metrics for the Total descriptor. Moreover, if both the REPORT SYSTEM WIDE and the REPORT FOR EACH USER flags are set to Yes, then the test will report metrics per user and will additionally report metrics for the Total descriptor as well.

  • By default, the REPORT BY DOMAIN NAME flag is set to No. This means that, by default, the test will report metrics for each username only. You can set this flag to Yes, to ensure that the test reports metrics for each domainname\username.

  • By default, the REPORT UNKNOWN flag is set to No. Accordingly, the test, by default, disregards user sessions that have remained active on the server for a duration lesser than the TEST PERIOD. If you want the test to report metrics for such users as well, then set this flag to Yes. In this case, the test will additionally support an Unknown descriptor – the metrics reported by this descriptor will be aggregated across all such user sessions that have been active on the server only for a limited duration.

  • Once the above value is 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.
