Default Parameters for ACOperateTest

This test scans the AppController Syslog file for the type of operations users performed on AppController. For every operation so discovered, this test then reports the number of times that operation succeeded and the number of times it failed. This way, the test highlights those operations that failed very often and caused the user experience with the AppController to suffer.

For this test to run and report metrics, the AppController should be configured to create a Syslog file in a remote Syslog server, where the details and status of all user interactions with the AppController will be logged. To configure the Syslog server where this Syslog file should be created, refer to the Monitoring the Citrix AppController document.

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

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

• This test reports metrics by parsing a Syslog file. Specify the full path to the Syslog file in the LOG FILE PATH text box. To know how to configure the Syslog server where the AppController will be creating this file, click here.

• Indicate whether/not AppController is SSL-enabled. By default, the SSL flag is set to Yes.

• 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.
