For every type of session (HDX and RDP) on each broker in a site, this test reports the total session count and the status of the sessions.

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

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

• In order to monitor the Delivery Controller 7, eG requires a special user with the following privileges;

  • The All scope and read-only privileges

  • The Allow log on locally security privilege on the Delivery Controller host

  To know the steps for assigning such privileges to a user, click hereare discussed. Specify the name of such a user, in the USERNAME text box.

• Specify the password for the user specified in the USERNAME text box, in the PASSWORD text box.

• Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• In the DOMAIN text box, specify the domain to which the user specified in the USERNAME text box belongs to.

• By default, the REPORT BY MACHINE TYPE flag is set to Yes, indicating that the individual descriptors of this test - i.e., the session types (HDX/RDP) - are classified based on their machine type - the session types will be listed either under the Windows Client OS or Windows Server OS based on their machine type. If you do not wish to proceed grouping the session types based on their machine types, set this flag to No.

• By default, the SHOW SITE WIDE INFORMATION flag is set to Yes, indicating that the monitored server is the site server of a broker site. For a server which is a site, this test will report metrics at the site-level - accordingly, a set of metrics will be reported for each delivery group managed by every broker in the site. On the other hand, if the monitored broker is only a member of a site and not the site server, then set this flag to No. In this case, the test will not report any metrics.

• The DD FREQUENCY refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD FREQUENCY.

• 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.
