Configuration of IcaConnectionTest

This test is used to monitor the status of the port and the availability of the ICA connection.

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 Citrix server has to be specified.

  • The port number through which the Citrix server communicates has to be specified in the PORT text box.

  • In the TARGETPORTS textbox specify either a comma-separated list of port numbers that are to be tested (eg., 1494,1495,1496), or a comma-separated list of port name:port number pairs that are to be tested (eg., ica:1494,smtp:25,mssql:1433). In the latter case, the port name will be displayed in the monitor interface. Alternatively, this parameter can take a comma-separated list of port name:IP address:port number pairs that are to be tested, so as to enable the test to try and connect to Tcp ports on multiple IP addresses. For example, mysql:192.168.0.102:1433,egwebsite:209.15.165.127:80.

  • Specify the maximum duration (in seconds) in the TIMEOUT textbox for which the test will wait for a response from the server. The default TIMEOUT period is 60 seconds.

  • If the value chosen is YES in the ISPASSIVE textbox, then the server under consideration is a passive server in a cluster. No alerts will be generated if the server is not running. Measures will be reported as "Not applicable' by the agent if the server is not up.

  • 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.
