Default Parameters for VMViewPoolDetTest

This test monitors the status and usage of each desktop pool configured on a VMware View server.

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

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

  • By default, the SHOW TOTAL DESKTOP DD flag is set to No, indicating that this test will not report detailed diagnostics for the Total desktops measure. This means that the test, by default, will not capture and store the details of every desktop in a pool, in the eG database. This default setting is ideal for large VDI infrastructures, where a single pool can contain hundreds of desktops, as it can help conserve space in the eG database and reduce the strain on the database. However, if your eG database is well-sized and you want to view the complete list of desktops in a pool, enable the detailed diagnosis capability of the Total desktops measure by setting this flag to Yes.

  • By default, the REMOTE SESSION DD flag is set to No, indicating that this test will not report detailed diagnostics for the Remote Sessions measure. This means that the test, by default, will not capture and store the details of the remote sessions to each desktop in a desktop pool, in the eG database. This default setting is ideal for large VDI infrastructures, where a single pool can contain hundreds of desktops, as it can help conserve space in the eG database and reduce the strain on the database. However, if your eG database is well-sized and you want to view the complete list of remote sessions to the desktops in a pool, enable the detailed diagnosis capability of the Remote Sessions measure by setting this flag to Yes.

  • By default, the DISCONNECTED DESKTOP DD flag is set to No, indicating that this test will not report detailed diagnostics for the Disconnected Desktops measure. This means that the test, by default, will not capture and store the details of the desktops that were disconnected from a desktop pool, in the eG database. This default setting is ideal for large VDI infrastructures, where a single pool can contain hundreds of desktops, as it can help conserve space in the eG database and reduce the strain on the database. However, if your eG database is well-sized and you want to view the complete list of desktops that were disconnected from a pool, enable the detailed diagnosis capability of the Disconnected Desktops measure by setting this flag to Yes.

  • By default, the DISCONNECTED APPLICATION DD flag is set to No, indicating that this test will not report detailed diagnostics for the Disconnected Applications measure. This means that the test, by default, will not capture and store the details of the applications (in each desktop pool) that were disconnected from the View Client, in the eG database. This default setting is ideal for large VDI infrastructures, where a single pool can contain hundreds of desktops, as it can help conserve space in the eG database and reduce the strain on the database. However, if your eG database is well-sized and you want to view the complete list of applications that were disconnected from the View Client, enable the detailed diagnosis capability of the Disconnected Applications measure by setting this flag to Yes.

  • By default, the MAINTENANCE DESKTOP DD flag is set to No, indicating that this test will not report detailed diagnostics for the Maintenance Desktops measure. This means that the test, by default, will not capture and store the details of the desktops that were in Maintenance mode in a desktop pool, in the eG database. This default setting is ideal for large VDI infrastructures, where a single pool can contain hundreds of desktops, as it can help conserve space in the eG database and reduce the strain on the database. However, if your eG database is well-sized and you want to view the complete list of desktops that were in Maintenance mode in a desktop pool, enable the detailed diagnosis capability of the Maintenance Desktops measure by setting this flag to Yes.

  • The DD FREQUENCY refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD FREQUENCY.

  • 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.
