Default Parameters for VDIBoxLicenseTest

This test tracks the usage of the Citrix Startup and VDI in-a-box licenses, and helps determine the following:

  • Whether adequate Citrix startup licenses are available for supporting continuous connections to the Citrix License server;
  • Whether sufficient concurrent user licenses are available or more licenses need to be purchased.

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

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

  • In the VDI IN A BOX HOST text box, the IP address of the vdimanager being monitored has to be specified.

  • The test needs to log on to the VDI in-a-box appliance to pull out the metrics of interest. For this purpose, you need to configure the test with the credentials of a user with login rights to the appliance. By default, the appliance supports a root user named root (with the default password root) and a Read-only user named kvm (with the default password kaviza123). If you prefer not to expose the credentials of the root user, then you can configure the VDI IN A BOX USERNAME and VDI IN A BOX PASSWORD parameters with the credentials of the user kvm. Confirm the password of this user by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

    Note:

    The default password of user kvm is kaviza123. If this is changed, then make sure you configure the VDI IN A BOX PASSWORD parameter with the new password.

  • Specify the SSH port number of the vdimanager. By default, this is 22.

  • 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.
