Default Parameters for CtxVDAStatusTest

This test monitors the Virtual Delivery Agent installed on the target virtual machine and reports whether the services such as user authentication, active directory authentication, DNS lookup, WCF endpoints etc are successful or not. This test also reports the errors and warnings available in the event log when registration failure occurs.

Note:

This test reports metrics only if the connections to the applications and desktops are brokered via Citrix XenDesktop/XenApp 7.x.

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

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. By default, this is 15 minutes.

• The DD FREQUENCY refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 6:1. 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 above values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to 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.
