Configuration of XchgASyncDeviceTest

This test auto-discovers the users who are currently connected to the appliance via ICA, and reports the count of ICA connections established per user.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

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

• Specify the the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured in the HOST text box.

• In the PORT text box, specify the port number of the client access server. By default, this is 110.

• The Exchange Management Shell is a command-line management interface, built on Windows PowerShell which enables you to administer every part of Microsoft Exchange. This test uses the Exchange management shell to run scripts and collect the desired performance metrics from the Exchange server. By default, the test auto-discovers the location of the Exchange management shell and thus, automatically loads the Exchange management shell snap-in (exshell.psc1) for script execution. This is why, the XCHGEXTENSIONSHELLPATH is set to none by default.

• In the INACTIVE DEVICE AGE IN DAYS text box, specify the minimum duration (in days) for which a device should not have synchronized with its mailbox for it to be counted as a stale/inactive device.

• By default, the SHOW DD FOR OK STATUS DEVICE flag is set to No, indicating that detailed metrics will not be available by default for the Device with OK status measure reported by this test. To ensure that this test collects detailed metrics for this measure, set this flag to Yes.

• To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise suite embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the DETAILED DIAGNOSIS capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

  The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

  • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability.
  • Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
