Measures reported by CtxXcXDFConnTest

If a user complains that his/her connections to a desktop/application failed, then adinistrators must be able to quickly detect the failure and accurately zero-in on the reason for the failure, so that the problem can be fixed and the user connection can be restored. The CtxXcXDFConnTest test helps administrators do just that!

This test monitors the user connections to each delivery group in a site, promptly detects connection failures, and accurately indicates what caused the failure - is it due to a problem at the client side? is it owing to configuration errors? is it because of machine failures? is it due to the exhaustion of delivery group capacity? Or is it due to the absence of a license?

Output of the test : One set of results for each delivery group configured in the XenDesktop broker site

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Client_conn_failures Indicates the number of connections to this delivery group that failed due to a problem at the client side. Number The value of this measure indicates the number of connection failures that occurred due to the inability of the client side to complete the session connection; for example, connection timed out, server was not reachable.
Config_errors Indicates the number of connections to this delivery group that failed due to configuration errors. Number Connection failures can also occur when administrators change the configuration of the broker; for instance, a failure may occur when administrators put a delivery group or a machine in maintenance mode.
Machine_failures Indicates the number of connections to this delivery group that failed due to machine failures. Number This refers to connections that failed because the machines that need to launch the sessions itself failed. For probable reasons, refer to the measures of the Failed Machines test.
Unavail_capacity Indicates the number of connections to this delivery group that failed because the configured capacity of the machines was consumed. Number This refers to failures that occurred due to the configured capacity of a particular delivery group having been completely consumed. For example, too many users logged into a Server Desktop OS delivery group or a user accessing a Pooled Random delivery group once all the machines in the delivery group are already assigned to other users.
Unavail_licenses Indicates the number of connections to this delivery group that failed because of the absence of a license. Number These are failures that occur due to the inability of the delivery controller to acquire a license from the license server to launch a session.
