Pre-requisites for monitoring Delivery Controller7

Typically, to monitor a Delivery Controller v7 (and above), every test that the eG agent runs on the controller should be configured with the credentials of a user with the following privileges:

• The All scope and read-only privileges

• The Allow log on locally security privilege on the Delivery Controller host

To assign the aforesaid privileges to a user, do the following:

1. Login to the Citrix Studio console and select the Administrators node in the Configuration tree structure in the left panel of the console.

2. To assign the monitoring rights to a user, click on the Create Administrator option under the Administrators menu in the Actions panel of the console. This will open the Administrator and Scope page in the Create Administrator window

3. In the Administrator and Scope page that opens, click on the Browse button. This will invoke the Select User or Group dialog box, using which you can select the user from the domain. Once you selected the user, click OK button.

4. This will lead you to the Administrator and Scope page, where the chosen user will be displayed. Now, select All as the scope for the chosen user, and then click Next button to proceed.

5. Then, the Role page of the Create Administrator window appears. In this page, select the Read Only Administrator role for the chosen user.

6. Upon clicking the Next button in the Role page, the Summary page will appear. This will display the summary of your settings for the chosen user.

7. Finally, click the Finish button.

8. Next, proceed to assign the Allow log on locally security privilege for the same user on the Delivery Controller host. To achieve this, do the following;

   • Go to the Control Panel in the host.

   • From the list of control panel items, click the Administrative Tools to view the set of tools available for system administrators and advanced users.

   • Upon selecting the Local Security Policy tool in the Administrative Tools location, the Local Security Policy settings console will appear.

   • Next, navigate to the User Rights Assignment node in the Local Policies tree in the left panel of the settings console. This will display the security policies corresponding to the user rights in the right panel.

   • Now, select the Allow log on locally policy to assign the security privilege to the user.

9. The eGurkhaAgent service should run using the Local system account.
