This test primarily checks whether the critical TCP ports on the Citrix XenDesktop Apps server are up/down, and reports the responsiveness of each configured port to client requests.

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

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

• 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 TARGETPORTS text box. 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) for which the test will wait for a response from the server, in the TIMEOUT text box. The default TIMEOUT period is 60 seconds.

• If the ISPASSIVE parameter is set to Yes, then it means that, by default, all the Forefront TMG servers being monitored by the eG system are the passive servers of a Forefront TMG cluster. No alerts will be generated if the servers are not running. Measures will be reported as “Not applicable” by the agent if the servers are not up.

• 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.
