This test reports whether the virtual desktop is accessible over the network or not.

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

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

• By default, the REPORT BY GROUPNAME flag is set to Yes, indicating that this test reports a set of measures for every desktopgroup:virtualdesktop combination, by default. To ensure that this test reports a set of measures for every virtualdesktop alone, set this flag to No.

• By default, the REPORT BY CONTROLLERNAME flag is set to Yes. This implies that every desktopgroup:virtualdesktop pair for which this test reports metrics will be prefixed by the controllername as well. Every descriptor will hence be of the following format by default: Controllername->desktopgroup:virtualdesktop. If you want to remove the controllername prefix from the descriptors, then, set this flag to No.

• The size of packets used for the test has to be specified in the PACKETSIZE text box.

• Number of packets to be transmitted during the test has to be given in the PACKETCOUNT text box.

• The TIMEOUT text box defines the maximum time (in seconds) that the test waits for the response to a transmitted packet. A response received after the TIMEOUT period is ignored by the test.

• The PACKETINTERVAL text box represents the interval (in milliseconds) between successive packet transmissions during the execution of the NetworkTest for a specific target. 

• By default, the REPORTUNAVAILABILITY flag is set to No. This implies that, by default, the test will not report the unavailability of network connection to any virtual desktop. In other words, if the Network availability of desktop measure of this test registers the value 0 for any virtual desktop, then, by default, this test will not report any measure for that virtual desktop; under such circumstances, the corresponding virtual desktop name will not appear as a descriptor of this test. You can set this flag to Yes, if you want the test to report and alert you to the unavailability of the network connection to a virtual desktop.

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

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. e.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
