Configuration of HrznLoginTest

This test monitors the user logins and logouts of the Horizon view connection server. By continuously tracking the logins and logouts, administrators can figure out the users who have logged in/logged out and the time of login/logout. This way, administrators can identify users who were unusually logged in for a longer duration as well as proactively identify connection issues as well as the session load on the server.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

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

• Specify host for which the test is to be configured, in the HOST text box.

• Enter the port used by the VMware Horizon View Connection server in the PORT text box. The default port number is NULL.

• In the LOGFILE PATH,specify the full path to the debug-<current date> file where the details of the current logins/logouts are stored. By default, the file will be available in the C:\Program files\VMware\VDM directory. If the file indeed resides in its default location, set the LOGFILE PATH to none. On the other hand, if the file has been installed in a different location, provide the full path to that location against the LOGFILE PATH.

• 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.

• To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise suite embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the DETAILED DIAGNOSIS capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

  The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:
  • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability.
  • Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
