eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by VmgClntMtrcTest

High network latencies, poor signal strength, or packet losses during transmission can cause significant slow-downs in request processing by the desktop. Hence, monitoring latencies between the physical desktops and individual client terminals is important.

Using this test, an administrator can identify user sessions that are being impacted by high latencies or by excessive packet drops. In some cases, a physical desktop may regard a user session as active, even though the network link connecting the user terminal to the physical desktop has failed. The VmgClntMtrcTest alerts administrators to such situations. In addtion, this test also reports the signal strength and quality of Wifi network accessed by the physical desktops.

Outputs of the test : One set of outputs for every user currently connected to the physical desktop

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Tot_devices Indicates the number of physical desktops connected to the local router. Number This measure is only applicable for Summary descriptor.
Signal_sten Indicates the signal strength of the Wifi network accessed by the physical desktop.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Values Numeric Values
Poor 0
Weak 1
Fair 2
Good 3
Execellent 4

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the Wi-fi signal strength. However, in the graph of this measure, drive states will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents only - i.e., 0 to 4.
LAN_latency Indicates the time taken by the local router to respond to the requests made from the physical desktop. Milliseconds A high value is a cause for concern, as it indicates a potentially latent function. The detailed diagnosis of this measure reveals the IP address of the local router.
LAN_loss Indicates the percentage of packets lost during data exchange between the physical desktop and the local router. Percent  
ISP_latency Indicates the time taken by the ISP (Internet Service Provider) to respond to the requests made from the physical desktop. Milliseconds A high value is a cause for concern, as it indicates a potentially latent function.The detailed diagnosis of this measure reveals the IP address of the Internet Service Provider.
ISP_loss Indicates the percentage of packets lost during data exchange between the physical desktop and the ISP (Internet Service Provider). Percent  
Internet_latency Indicates how long the physical desktop waited to get response from internet. Milliseconds A high value is a cause for concern, as it indicates a potentially latent function.
Internet_loss Indicates the percentage of packets lost during data exchange between the physical desktop and the internet. Percent  
Wifi_signal Indicates the percentage of signal strength of the Wifi network accessed by the physical desktop. Percent A high value is preferred for this measure.
