The DesktopGroupsTest auto-discovers the desktop groups managed by each DDC and reports the powered-on status, registration status, and usage of the each type of desktop within each group. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the DesktopGroupsTest and appears on clicking the CONFIGURE DEFAULT button beside this test in the AGENTS TESTS CONFIGURE page.

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

• This test collects the desired metrics using the Citrix Desktop Delivery Controller PowerShell SDK. To enable the test to access the SDK for executing scripts, provide the full path to the PowerShell console in the XEN PS CONSOLE FILE PATH. For instance, your path specification can be: C:\Program Files\Citrix\Desktop Delivery Controller\Powershell\XdCommands.psc1.

• Provide the IP address of the server that hosts the main delivery controller component in your farm (i.e., the farm master), in the ADMIN SERVER text box. By default, the HOST IP will be displayed here.

• To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, eG 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, by default, for a particular server-type, choose the On option against DETAILED DIAGNOSIS. 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 bad and normal 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 above value is provided, click on the UPDATE button to register the changes made.
