Configuration of VMMonitoringTest

This test reports the total number of virtual machines/desktops for which measures are collected by the target eG agent. In addition, this test reports the number of powered on virtual machines/desktops, the number of virtual machines/desktops that were successfully authenticated and the virtual machines/desktops that failed authentication.

Note:

This test will report metrics only if the target eG agent being monitored is an internal or remote agent and atleast one physical server hosting virtual machines/virtual desktops is monitored by the target eG agent.

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 the host for which this test is to be configured in the HOST text box.

  • Specify the port at which the specified HOST listens in the PORT text box. By default, this is NULL.

  • The DD FREQUENCY refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. By default, this is set to 6:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem.

  • 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 abnormalfrequencies 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.
