Default Parameters for VMViewFarmsTest

For every RDS farm, this test reports the count of RDS hosts in the farm, the number and type of sessions active in that farm, and the state of desktops and applications in that farm.

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

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

  • By default, the SHOW RDS HOST DD flag is set to No, indicating that this test will not report detailed diagnostics for the RDS Hosts measure. This means that the test, by default, will not capture and store the details of every RDS host in a farm, in the eG database. This default setting is ideal for large RDS farms characterized by hundreds of hosts, as it helps conserve space in the eG database and reduce the strain on the database. However, if your eG database is well-sized and you want to view the complete list of RDS hosts in a farm, enable the detailed diagnosis capability of the RDS hosts measure by setting this flag to Yes.

  • 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.
