Default Parameters for ACLoginTest

By tracking user sessions to the AppController, the ACLoginTest test helps administrators gauge the workload of the AppController and quickly capture failed login attempts.

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 ACLoginTest.

• 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.

• 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.
