This test tracks various statistics pertaining to TCP connections to and from each guest of a host operating system.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the VmgTcpTest.

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

• Specify the domain within which the virtual guests reside. If the guests belong to a specific domain, an administrative account in that domain can be provided in the ADMIN USER field. If the guests do not belong to any domain, specify "none" in the DOMAIN field, and specify a local administrator account name in the ADMIN USER field below. Prior to this, you need to ensure that the same local administrator account is available or is explicitly created on each of the virtual machines to be monitored. On the other hand, if the guests belong to different domains, then you might want to provide multiple domain names. If this is done, then, to access the guests in every configured domain, the test should be configured with the required user privileges; this implies that along with multiple DOMAIN names, multiple ADMIN USER names and ADMIN PASSWORDs would also have to be provided. To help administrators provide these user details quickly and easily, the eG administrative interface embeds a special configuration page. To access this page, simply click on the Click here hyperlink that appears just above the parameters of this test in the test configuration page.

• This test connects to each virtual guest and attempts to determine whether any user is logged into that guest or not. In order to do so, the test must be configured with user privileges that allow a remote connection to the virtual guest from the Xen host. If the DOMAIN parameter is set to "none", then a local administrator account has to be specified for this parameter. Prior to this, you need to ensure that the same local administrator account is available or is explicitly created on each of the virtual machines to be monitored. On the other hand, if the guests belong to different domains, then you might want to provide multiple domain names. If this is done, then, to access the guests in every configured domain, the test should be configured with the required user privileges; this implies that along with multiple DOMAIN names, multiple ADMIN USER names and ADMIN PASSWORDs would also have to be provided. To help administrators provide these user details quickly and easily, the eG administrative interface embeds a special configuration page. To access this page, simply click on the Click here hyperlink that appears just above the parameters of this test in the test configuration page.

• The password of the ADMIN USER needs to be provided in the ADMIN PASSWORD text box. Here again, if multiple passwords need to be specified, then follow the procedure detailed in the discussion on the DOMAIN parameter.

• Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• Once the above value is provided, click on the Update button to register the changes made.
