The CitrixLicenseTest reports statistics pertaining to the license usage of the Citrix MetaFrame Access Suite. 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. Since the CitrixLicenseTest is a resource-intensive test, it is recommended that you run the test less frequently. Accordingly, the default TEST PERIOD is set to 10 minutes.

• 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 CITRIXHOME text box, provide the full path to the install directory of the Citrix License server being monitored. By default, 'none' will be displayed here. In such a case, eG will auto-discover the install directory. Alternatively, you can explicitly specify the exact location of the install directory here. For example, c:\progra~1\CitrixLicense.

• If the REREADLICENSE flag is set to Yes, then the eG agent will check for changes in license status everytime the test runs. If this flag is set to No, then the eG agent will not check for license changes.

• 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, by default, 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.
