Default Parameters for CtxXcXDSiteCtrlTest

This test auto-discovers the delivery controllers configured within a site, and reports the current status of each controller and the count of machines registered with every controller.

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

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

  • To connect to a delivery controller in a site and pull out metrics from it, the eG agent requires Farm Administrator rights. In order to configure the eG agent with Farm Administrator privileges, specify the DOMAIN to which the target controller belongs and enter the credentials of the Farm Administrator in the USERNAME and PASSWORD text boxes. This user should also be assigned the Allow log on locally security privilege on the Citrix XA/XD Site 7.x host. The steps for assigning the Allow log on locally security privilege are as follows:

    • Go to the Control Panel in the host.

    • From the list of control panel items, click the Administrative Tools to view the set of tools available for system administrators and advanced users.

    • Upon selecting the Local Security Policy tool in the Administrative Tools location, the Local Security Policy settings console will appear.

    • Next, navigate to the User Rights Assignment node in the Local Policies tree in the left panel of the settings console. This will display the security policies corresponding to the user rights in the right panel.

    • Now, select the Allow log on locally policy to assign the security privilege to the user.

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

  • 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.
