Configuration of WVDDisconnectsTest

A user session is terminated when a user logs off from the AVD or when the session is abruptly interrupted (e.g., due to system, network, or application errors). When a user logs off, all the applications started by the user are terminated. However, when a user disconnects, the applications started by the user will keep running on the AVD consuming resources. Hence, the number of disconnected sessions on an AVD should be kept to a minimum. Abrupt disconnects can significantly impact the end user experience, and hence, it is important to monitor the number of disconnected sessions at any point of time.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• In the HOST text box, the IP address of the host for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• Specify the port at which the specified HOST listens to in the PORT text box. By default, this is NULL.

• The RECONNECT PERIOD parameter is used by the test while computing the value for the Quick reconnects by users measure. This measure counts all the users who reconnected to the AVD within the short period of time (in minutes) specified against RECONNECT PERIOD.

• By default, the REPORT BY DOMAIN NAME flag is set to Yes. This implies that by default, the detailed diagnosis of this test will display the domainname\username of each user who accessed an application on the AVD. This way, administrators will be able to quickly determine which user logged into the AVD from which domain. If you want the detailed diagnosis to display only the user name of these users, set this flag to No.

• The DD FREQUENCY parameter refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD FREQUENCY.

• To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG suite embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the DETAILED DIAGNOSIS capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

  The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

  • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability.

  • Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
