Configuration of XDCtrlGroupTest

This test auto-discovers the desktop groups managed by the monitored DDC and reports the powered-on status, registration status, and usage of the each type of desktop within each group.

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 host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

  • Specify the port at which the selected server listens in the PORT text box. By default, this is set to 80.

  • By default, the MAINTENANCE MODE ENABLED DD flag is set to Yes. This implies that by default, detailed metrics will be available for the Maintenance_desktops measure of this test such that you will be able to view the complete details of all desktops that are currently under maintenance in each desktop group managed by the broker. To disable detailed diagnosis for this measure, you can set this flag to No.

  • By default, the MAINTENANCE MODE DISABLED DD flag is set to No. This implies that by default, detailed metrics will not be available for the Non_maintenance_desktops measure of this test. To enable detailed diagnosis for this measure, you can set this flag to Yes. In this case, you will be able to view the complete details of all desktops that are currently under maintenance in each desktop group managed by the broker.

  • To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG system 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 for a particular server, 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 iagnosis 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 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.
