Default Parameters for ACApplicationTest

This test auto-discovers the applications configured on the AppController and reports the number of successful and failed launches per application.

For this test to run and report metrics, the AppController should be configured to create a Syslog file in a remote Syslog server, where the details and status of all user interactions with the AppController will be logged. To configure the Syslog server where this Syslog file should be created, refer to the Monitoring the Citrix AppController document.

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

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

• This test reports metrics by parsing a Syslog file. Specify the full path to the Syslog file in the LOG FILE PATH text box. To know how to configure the Syslog server where the AppController will be creating this file, click here.

• To discover the applications configured on the AppController, this test needs to login to the AppController's management console as a user with Administrator rights to AppController. For this purpose, you need to configure this test with the USERNAME and PASSWORD of a user with Administrator rights to the AppController.

• Confirm the PASSWORD by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• Indicate whether/not AppController is SSL-enabled. By default, the SSL flag is set to Yes.

• 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.
