Configuration of XMAppLaunchTest

This test auto-discovers the users who are currently logged into the XenMobile, and for each user, reports the number of successful and failed application launches per user. This way, the test points to those users with the maximum number of failed application launches. Such users naturally are the ones with a poor quality experience with the XenMobile.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

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

  • In the HOST text box, the host for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

  • In the PORT text box, enter the port number at which the target host being monitored listens. By default, this is 4443.

  • This test reports metrics by parsing a Syslog file. Specify the full path to the Syslog file in the LOG FILE PATH field. To know how to configure the Syslog server where the XenMobile will be creating this file, the Monitoring Citrix XenMobile document.

  • By default, the Syslog file may contain information relating to a number of servers that are inter linked with the target XenMobile. In order to obtain the metrics of the target XenMobile alone, specify the hostname or the IP address of the target XenMobile server for which the logs are to be read from the syslog file, in the SEARCH STRING text box. Using this search string the information in the Syslog file may be parsed and metrics may be collected.

  • Here, specify the cursor position after which the eG agent should search for the specified SEARCH STRING (or the position upto which the eG agent should ignore while searching for the specified SEARCH STRING) in the syslog file. For example, if the specified search string appears in the syslog file at the 17th position, then you may need to specify the SEARCH STRING INDEX as 16.

  • 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, eG 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, by default, for a particular server, choose the Onoption against DETAILED DIAGNOSIS. 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 bad and normal 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.
