>The CtxFarmSessionTest auto discovers all the Citrix zones in a Citrix farm, and reports key statistics pertaining to the user sessions to each of the zones in the farm. The parameters associated with this will be displayed at the bottom of this page.

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

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

• The port number to which the selected server is listening has to be specified in the PORT textbox. 

• If you want the test to report session statistics per server, then set the SERVERSTATS parameter to True. If this is the case, the statistics for individual servers in the zone are shown - the descriptors for the test will then be of the form: ZoneName:ServerName. By default, the SERVERSTATS parameter is set to False indicating that, by default, the test reports metrics for every Citrix zone in a farm, and not for every server.

• The SERVERZONENAME parameter is relevant only if the SERVERSTATS parameter is set to True. In such a case, if the SERVERZONENAME flag is also set to True, then the descriptors of the test will be of the form: ServerName:ZoneName. If this flag is set to False instead, the descriptors of the test will be of the form: ZoneName:ServerName.

• 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.
