Default Parameters for VMLaunchErrorTest

Using this test, administrators can periodically query the events database for the count of errors that the VMware Horizon View has encountered during desktop pool launch events, and also view the details of such events.

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

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

• Specify the type of the database in the DATABASETYPE text box. By default, the DATABASETYPE is Microsoft SQL.

• Specify the IP address of the database server that holds the VMware Horizon View event database in the DATABASESERVER text box.

• Specify the port number of database server in the DATABASEPORT text box.

• In the INSTANCE text box, enter the instance name of the VMware Horizon View event database. By default, this is set to none.

• Specify the name of the database that stores the VMware Horizon View events against the EVENTSDATABASENAME.

• Specify the name of the table containing the VMware Horizon View events in the VMware Horizon View events database in the EVENTSTABLENAME text box.

• Provide the credentials of the user who has the authorization to execute queries on the Events Database in the USER and PASSWORD text boxes.

• Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• Specify the name of the domain in which the database server operates, in the DOMAIN text box.

• By default, the SSL flag is set to No. If the Microsoft SQL server that is hosting the Events Database is SSL-enabled, set 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.
