Measures reported by VDIBoxProcessTest

The vdimanager will not be available for use, if any/all of the following processes stop executing:

  • The KVM_tomcat process
  • Lmadmin, which is the Citrix license server manager process
  • Lmgrd, which is the FLEXlm license manager daemon that handles the initial point of contact with the VDI-in-a-box appliance, and processes all licensing requests

This test has been pre-configured to monitor and report on the status (whether running or not) of the above-mentioned processes and their resource usage. If users are not able to connect to the vdimanager or complain of a slowdown when working with the vdimanager, you can use this test to figure out if one/all of these critical processes are at fault.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Cpu_util Indicates the percentage of CPU used by executing process(es) corresponding to the pattern specified. Percent A very high value could indicate that processes corresponding to the specified pattern are consuming excessive CPU resources.
Num_procs_running Indicates the number of instances of a process(es) currently executing on a host. Number This value indicates if too many or too few processes corresponding to an application are executing on the host.
Memory_util Indicates that for one or more processes corresponding to a specified set of patterns, this value represents the ratio of the resident set size of the processes to the physical memory of the host system, expressed as a percentage. Percent A sudden increase in memory utilization for a process(es) may be indicative of memory leaks in the application.
