Default Parameters for CtxXcXADBConnTest

If a user to a XenApp / XenDesktop site complaints that he is unable to connect to it, you may want to check if the database server is available. This test reports this information at pre-configured intervals. In addition, the test reports how long the database server has remained unavailable, thus indicating to you whether the unavailability was sudden or prolonged. This greatly aids troubleshooting, as it points to the time window in which the break in connection might have occurred, so that you can effectively time-correlate the unavailability with problems that might have occurred around that time frame and determine the source of the issue.

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

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

• 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.
