Measures reported by CtxXcXDBrSvcTest

This test auto-discovers the critical services executing on the XenDesktop 7 server, and reports the status of each service. With the help of this test, you can promptly detect which services have failed currently.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Broker_srv_status Indicates the current status of the broker service on this broker.   The Citrix Broker Service brokers connections from endpoint devices to desktops and applications.

The numeric values that correspond to the Measure Values that this measure can take are as follows:

Measure Value Numeric Value
OK 1
DBUnconfigured 2
DBRejectedConnection 3
InvalidDBConfigured 4
DBNewerVersionThanService 5
DBOlderVersionThanService 6
DBVersionChangeInProgress 7
PendingFailure 8
Failed 9
Unknown 10
DBNotFound 11
DBMissingOptionalFeature 12
DBMissingMandatoryFeature 13

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the current state of the broker service. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents – i.e., 1 to 13.
Ad_id_srv_status Indicates the current status of the AD Identity Service on this broker.   The Citrix AD Identity Service manages active directory computer accounts. Once the broker validates a user login, this service connects to the broker's database to identify the virtual desktop that is assigned to the user who has logged in.

The numeric values that correspond to the Measure Values that this measure can take are as follows:

Measure Value Numeric Value
OK 1
DBUnconfigured 2
DBRejectedConnection 3
InvalidDBConfigured 4
DBNotFound 5
DBNewerVersionThanService 6
DBOlderVersionThanService 7
DBVersionChangeInProgress 8
Failed 9
Unknown 10

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the current status of the AD Identity Service. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents – i.e., 1 to 10.
Config_srv_status Indicates the current status of the Configuration Service on this broker.   The Citrix Configuration Service stores the configuration information related to Citrix services in the broker's MS SQL database.

The numeric values that correspond to the Measure Values that this measure can take are as follows:

Measure Value Numeric Value
OK 1
DBUnconfigured 2
DBRejectedConnection 3
InvalidDBConfigured 4
DBNotFound 5
DBNewerVersionThanService 6
DBOlderVersionThanService 7
DBVersionChangeInProgress 8
Failed 9
Unknown 10

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the current status of the Configuration service. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents – i.e., 1 to 10.
Host_srv_status Indicates the current status of the Host service on this broker.   The Citrix Host Service manages host and hypervisor connections.

The numeric values that correspond to the Measure Values that this measure can take are as follows:

Measure Value Numeric Value
OK 1
DBUnconfigured 2
DBRejectedConnection 3
InvalidDBConfigured 4
DBNotFound 5
DBNewerVersionThanService 6
DBOlderVersionThanService 7
DBVersionChangeInProgress 8
Failed 9
Unknown 10

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the current status of the Configuration service. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents – i.e., 1 to 10.
Mc_srv_status Indicates the current status of the Machine Creation Service on this broker.   The Citrix Machine Creation Service creates new virtual machines.

Once a valid user logs into the XenDesktop Broker via the Web Interface, the XenDesktop Broker manages the delivery groups by building, starting, and shutting down the desktops as required. At this juncture, the XenDesktop Broker relies on Machine Creation Services (MCS) to deliver the appropriate desktop image to the Pooled and Dedicated delivery groups.

The numeric values that correspond to the Measure Values that this measure can take are as follows:

Measure Value Numeric Value
OK 1
DBUnconfigured 2
DBRejectedConnection 3
InvalidDBConfigured 4
DBNotFound 5
DBNewerVersionThanService 6
DBOlderVersionThanService 7
DBVersionChangeInProgress 8
Failed 9
Unknown 10

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the current status of the Machine creation service. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents – i.e., 1 to 10.
Admin_srv_status Indicates the current status of the Delegated Administration service on this broker.   The Delegated Administration Service (DAS) stores information about Citrix administrators and the rights they have. Services in the XenDesktop deployment use the DAS to determine whether a particular user has the privilege to perform an operation or not.

The numeric values that correspond to the Measure Values that this measure can take are as follows:

Measure Value Numeric Value
OK 1
DBUnconfigured 2
DBRejectedConnection 3
InvalidDBConfigured 4
DBNotFound 5
DBNewerVersionThanService 6
DBOlderVersionThanService 7
DBVersionChangeInProgress 8
Failed 9
Unknown 10

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the current status of the Delegated Administration service. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents – i.e., 1 to 10.
Lic_srv_status Indicates the current status of the Licensing service on this broker.   The numeric values that correspond to the Measure Values that this measure can take are as follows:

Measure Value Numeric Value
OK 1
DBUnconfigured 2
DBRejectedConnection 3
InvalidDBConfigured 4
DBNotFound 5
DBNewerVersionThanService 6
DBOlderVersionThanService 7
DBVersionChangeInProgress 8
Failed 9
Unknown 10

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the current status of the Licensing service. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents – i.e., 1 to 10.
Mon_srv_status Indicates the current status of the Monitroing service on this broker.   The numeric values that correspond to the Measure Values that this measure can take are as follows:

Measure Value Numeric Value
OK 1
DBUnconfigured 2
DBRejectedConnection 3
InvalidDBConfigured 4
DBNotFound 5
DBNewerVersionThanService 6
DBOlderVersionThanService 7
DBVersionChangeInProgress 8
Failed 9
Unknown 10

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the current status of the Monitoring service. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents – i.e., 1 to 10.
Log_srv_status Indicates the current status of the Log service on this broker.   The numeric values that correspond to the Measure Values that this measure can take are as follows:

Measure Value Numeric Value
OK 1
DBUnconfigured 2
DBRejectedConnection 3

DBNotFound 5
DBNewerVersionThanService 6
DBOlderVersionThanService 7
DBVersionChangeInProgress 8
Failed 9
Unknown 10

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the current status of the Monitoring service. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents – i.e., 1 to 10.
app_disk_status Indicates the current state of the AppDisk service.   Citrix AppDisk, a new application layering technology in XenApp and XenDesktop 7.8, allows IT to package and deliver apps separately from golden images.

AppDisk allows IT to create, deploy and update fewer master images. Instead of installing applications alongside the OS, IT can package and deliver them separately in departmental AppDisks. An AppDisk is either a virtual hard disk or virtual machine disk file, depending on the hypervisor -- either Citrix XenServer or VMware ESXi.

The values that this measure can take and their corresponding numeric values are as follows:

Measure Value Numeric Value
OK 1
DBUnconfigured 2
DBRejectedConnection 3
InvalidDBConfigured 4
DBNotFound 5
DBNewerVersionThanService 6
DBOlderVersionThanService 7
DBVersionChangeInProgress 8
Failed 9
Unknown 10

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the current status of the AppDisk service. However, in the graph of this measure, the same will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents – i.e., 1 to 10.
