eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by CtxGwUptimeTest

In most production environments, it is essential to monitor the uptime of critical servers/devices in the infrastructure. By tracking the uptime of each of the servers/device, administrators can determine what percentage of time a server/device has been up. Comparing this value with service level targets, administrators can determine the most trouble-prone areas of the infrastructure.

In some environments, administrators may schedule periodic reboots of their servers/devices. By knowing that a specific server/device has been up for an unusually long time, an administrator may come to know that the scheduled reboot task is not working on a server/device.

The CtxGwUptimeTest included in the eG agent monitors the uptime of the target Citrix Cloud Gateway Connector.

Outputs of the test :One set of results for the Citrix Cloud Connector Gateway to be monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Rebooted Indicates whether the target connector has been rebooted during the last measurement period or not.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Yes 0
No 1


Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating whether the target connector was rebooted or not. However, in the graph of this, the HA states will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents.

By checking the time periods when this metric changes from 0 to 1, an administrator can determine the times when this server was rebooted.
Uptime Indicates the time period that the connector has been up since the last time this test ran. Second If the connector has not been rebooted during the last measurement period and the agent has been running continuously, this value will be equal to the measurement period. If the connector was rebooted during the last measurement period, this value will be less than the measurement period of the test. For example, if the measurement period is 300 secs, and if the connector was rebooted 120 secs back, this metric will report a value of 120 seconds. The accuracy of this metric is dependent on the measurement period - the smaller the measurement period, greater the accuracy.
Total_uptime Indicates the total time that the connector has been up since its last reboot. Minutes This measure displays the number of years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds since the last reboot. Administrators may wish to be alerted if a connector has been running without a reboot for a very long period. Setting a threshold for this metric allows administrators to determine such conditions.
