Configuration of CtxMfUserTest

The parameters associated with this test are as follows:

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

  • In the HOST text box, the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

  • The port number to which the selected server is listening has to be specified in the PORT textbox. 

  • In the USERNAMES text box, specify the name of the user whose performance statistics need to be generated. Multiple user names can be specified as a comma-separated list.

  • If the Citrix server for which this test is being configured belongs to a Citrix farm, then provide the name of the Citrix farm server that controls it, in the FARMNAME text box. While specifying the FARMNAME, ensure that you provide the same name that was specified against the HOST/NICK NAME field while managing the Citrix farm server using the eG system. In the event of a name mismatch, eG will be unable to extract the required measures for this test.

  • In the FARMPORT text box, specify the port number of the Citrix Farm. 

  • To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG system 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 against DETAILED DIAGNOSIS. 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 bad and normal 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.

Note:

This test is relevant to Citrix MetaFrame 1.8 servers only.
