Measures reported by CbrHaStateTest

A high availability (HA) deployment of two Citrix® CloudBridge servers can provide uninterrupted operation in any transaction. With one server configured as the primary and the other as the secondary, the primary accepts connections and manages servers while the secondary monitors the primary. If, for any reason, the primary is unable to accept connections, the secondary takes over.

The secondary monitors the primary by sending periodic messages (often called heartbeat messages or health checks) to determine whether the primary is accepting connections. If a health check fails, the secondary retries the connection for a specified period, after which it determines that the primary is not functioning normally. The secondary then takes over for the primary (a process called failover).

When monitoring a high availability setup of Citrix CloudBridge servers, you may want to know the current state of the Citrix CloudBridge that is monitored. The CbrHaStateTest test exactly does the same!

This test monitors the current state of the Citrix CloudBridge in a high availability setup.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
State Indicates the current state of this Citrix CloudBridge in a high availability cluster unit.   The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric equivalents are shown in the table below:

Numeric Value Measure Value
0 Invalid
1 Starting
14 Restarting
13 Secondary
81 Primary
91 Standalone

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the current state of this Citrix CloudBridge in a high availability cluster unit. However, in the graph of this measure, the states will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents only.
